After traveling thousands of miles, we only found more than 500 people. Is that too few
No, not less at all...
Russell's worst-case scenario was that he wouldn't see any.
Hal, who was following along, heard the conversation between the two, turned his head to look at the convoys that were still arriving behind him, and nodded:
"To be honest, I didn't expect so many people were still alive. I thought they were all dead."
For ordinary people, there is almost no way to survive in such a world.
Every day I just huddle in that small corner, and I always worry that one day the whole staff will be killed due to negligence of the caregiver.
The extremely high mortality rate...
In addition, each territory has been disconnected, so they often think that the outside world may have been completely reduced to ruins.
When Colin used force to forcibly break into their territory, he felt nothing but despair in his heart.
Fortunately, fate has not abandoned them, and there are still a large number of people alive.
Colin's sudden appearance was like a savior to them.
"If nothing unexpected happens, there should be at least 10,000 people alive in this large area..."
Hal guessed for a moment, and after surviving the disaster, he felt a little emotional. He didn't expect that he could actually persevere.
At the same time, noticing that he was actually beginning to care about others, he couldn't help but find his own thoughts funny.
Every citizen of Gondor who has survived to this day has the blood of countless compatriots on his hands.
But now, he actually began to care about the lives of those people.
I have to say it's a funny thing.
"It is true that there are still some people who have not been rescued, but they will not be in big trouble for the time being, especially after the fifth stage curse disappears, their pressure will be reduced a lot."
Colin briefly explained that this area was very large and was home to more than 80 percent of Gondor’s members.
A place that used to have a population of hundreds of millions may now have less than a hundred thousand people.
It's still pretty miserable...
However, as miserable as it was, Colin still couldn't focus all his attention on this place.
If he really rushed here to carry out rescue work, it might take more than half a month before he could see a little bit of results.
And this kind of result can be almost the same if it is left to others to do.
Ke Lin looked at Li Hang and said, “From now on, we will build a large frontline base here to receive the resources left over here.
"Remember, you must act carefully. The threat of a level three curse is quite large. Once you are entangled, the threat is only higher than that of a lord-level aberration. You must deal with it seriously!
"In the next few days, if there is no one else, I will try my best to mark the directions of living people and dangerous places in this large area."
"Yes!" Li Hang nodded and took the task.
He knew the scale of the large front-line base Colin mentioned, which meant that the empire would focus its attention on this place for some time to come.
A large number of elite troops will be continuously transferred from various places, and at least 100,000 troops will be deployed here to launch a thorough liquidation of the entire area...
