## Chapter
- number: 36
- release_date: 2025-03-08

### Summary
The primary quest to find a cure for Lita Ma's mutating disease has been completely derailed, shifting from a battle against leviathans to an intense socio-political conflict. The narrative now centers on a human antagonist from the past, a figure referred to by readers as "Scarface," whom the legendary harpooner Teon Ma had previously failed to kill. This adversary has imposed a harsh system of capitalism and classism, forcing a debate on resource distribution and the treatment of the community's less privileged. While readers express extreme animosity towards this character and his cruel methods, some begrudgingly admit the brutal logic of his arguments within their post-apocalyptic reality. This internal, ideological struggle has superseded the previous focus on monster threats and the controversy surrounding Kana's attire, bringing the journey to Busan Union to a complete standstill as the protagonists must now confront this oppressive human threat from within.
