Chapter 1243 This city can't hold on any longer.
In this world where one cannot even perceive the pollution, how domineering the corrosive power of strange energies can be.
They have done everything they could.
Some people noticed that the newcomer, Fu Zeyu, seemed quite curious about the monsters.
He then said to him, "Those monsters are terrifying. Not only are they physically powerful, but they also recover from injuries very quickly, making them extremely difficult to kill."
"Moreover, those monsters bring disease."
"That's right, if you accidentally come into contact with it, it can make you sick."
Those who fell ill were either driven away or killed and burned, as this was the only way to prevent the disease from spreading to others.
That's pollution.
Fortunately, although they didn't understand pollution, they did understand disease prevention. Before those contaminated people turned into mutated monsters, they...
However, with so many mutated monsters, it's likely that only cities with strict hierarchical systems and rigorous military orders have followed this rule.
Those empty villages and towns may have initially only had a few mutated monsters appear, and others were accidentally contaminated and developed symptoms, but his relatives couldn't bear to abandon him.
They just thought it was an illness, and that there might still be a cure.
The last one pollutes the next.
In the end, no one could escape it.
That's how those mutated monsters came to be, right?
The fact that the person in charge of this city did this shows that he understands the severity of this "disease".
This is the wisdom of the ancients.
Moreover, in ancient times, there was an even crueler place than today: people who contracted a plague could choose to drive away others before they died.
Or, if the condition becomes uncontrollable, cut off the source directly.
This has happened before.
In modern times, this is certainly not something that can be done; if it were done, it would likely cause a huge uproar.
After slaying a monster.
The soldiers did not relax.
Sure enough, not long after, another monster, drawn by the scent of blood, came along.
They killed the monster again, and then sprinkled wood ash or some pungent-smelling substance on the monster's spilled blood.
Used to mask the smell of blood.
Although it cannot completely escape the monster's keen sense of smell, it can still play a role to some extent.
They can't smell the monster if it's too far away.
And so, they killed the three monsters that had come looking for them.
Finally, no more monsters came from the vicinity.
The soldiers were all panting and covered in sweat.
"Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!"
Another kind of gong and drum sounded.
Those who had been resting on the spot all stood up and rushed back to the fields to continue working until it was almost dark.
Then, carrying the harvested vegetables on their backs, they returned to the city under the escort of the soldiers.
"This is basically what the team does in a day. As for whether they do anything else, I don't know."
There is more than one place with farmland.
After finishing the work on this field, they would rush to the next field.
Some fields are close to the city, while others are far away.
The people in their team would take turns working in shifts, with one group working on one plot of land.
Then the next group of people started working on the second field.
Take turns resting.
"Although there is a lot of land, the amount of food produced is still not enough to supply the entire city."
This city has a population of twenty to thirty thousand.
The amount of food consumed each day is not insignificant.
Even if only the bare minimum of necessities for living is guaranteed, it is still not enough to supply all the land that has been reclaimed.
"At most a year, this city won't be able to hold on."
