Chapter 309 Yes, all the animals in the cage were once human

When Jiang Qiuqiu heard Xiaoqing mention human life, a flicker of doubt crossed her mind. Human life? What did that mean...

However, this hint of doubt was quickly overshadowed by other even more shocking things.

The door opened, and there was clearly no one in the dimly lit room, only an iron cage and a leopard. The young man next to him called out, "Brother Leopard, Miss Jiang is here! We found Miss Jiang!"

After speaking to the empty room, he turned around and said to her, "Miss Jiang, Brother Leopard is in there."

Jiang Qiuqiu didn't move.

Xiaoqing could understand, after all...Brother Leopard's beastly appearance was still quite scary after he transformed into a beast.

So he added very considerately: "Don't worry, Miss Jiang, Brother Leopard's genes haven't completely collapsed. He is still conscious. You don't have to be afraid."

What does this mean?

Brother Leopard? Conscious? His genes haven't completely collapsed? Could it be!? Jiang Qiuqiu's gaze suddenly turned to the cage.

Then, she felt that her understanding of this era and this world was not very deep.

Because that leopard! It actually spoke?!

The raspy male voice sounded dull and lost. "It's okay, Xiaoqing. I'm really scary like this. Don't let Miss Jiang come over." The leopard slowly moved its body and turned its head towards the darkness. "Please thank Miss Jiang for me."

Xiaoqing's eyes suddenly reddened as she watched Leopard Brother's gloomy expression. This was the most painful stage of being a beastman: you still had human thoughts, but you had lost your human appearance.

Standing together, they seemed to be no longer the same species. Either they were rejected and feared, or they were looked down upon.

Seeing the leopard speak, Jiang Qiuqiu's mind connected all the information about the rescue center. Xiaoqing's pained expression when she mentioned the word "genetic collapse", and the repeated mention of human lives... Rescue center? Who is this center for?

Look at the leopard in the cage and the group of cats, dogs and foxes outside the door.

She suddenly had a heavy guess.

Jiang Qiuqiu remained silent. Xiaoqing called her several times, "Miss Jiang? Why don't we go out first?"

"I thank you on behalf of Brother Leopard. It's my fault for not telling you in advance... and you got scared."

"Miss Jiang?" Xiaoqing called Jiang Qiuqiu again.

She came back to her senses from her thoughts, glanced at Xiaoqing, then glanced at the leopard hiding in the dark, "I'm not scared, I'm just thinking about one thing."

"?"

"Isn't your rescue center... an animal rescue center?"

"Of course not." Xiao Qing: "We are the Federation Warrior Genetic Collapse Rescue Center."

"Then let me ask you one last question. Are all the animals in that row of cages as you enter the door human?"

She really seemed unaware of this.

Xiao Qing hummed. He had been very sad when they had all transformed into beasts, but as he gradually experienced more, his heart became numb, to the point where he could now say calmly, "Yes, all the animals in the cages were once humans."

At that moment, one word was clearly printed in Jiang Qiuqiu's eyes - shock.

Seeing that she was not reacting properly, Xiao Qing asked her, "Miss Jiang, don't you know about these things?"

Jiang Qiuqiu shook her head and said only one sentence: "I thought genetic collapse was similar to mental collapse."
