Chapter 822 - The Passage is Open Again (1/2)
After one month, the people who survived until this time were less than one-tenth in Chongluo City.
Chongluo City was a large city with a population of one million. Last time, more than one hundred thousand people followed Qin Feng out and left behind nine hundred thousand people. However, it looked like only seventy to eighty thousand people had survived these past cruel intense months from the looks of things.
The pressure of survival, scarcity of food, the city going into a standstill, the issue with food rations and not starving to death were the biggest problems.
When people were fighting over the food that remained, they would have to leave their homes and had a chance of getting attacked by ultra beasts or killed by increasing numerous mutant plants.
Once the rations were gone, the only thing one could do was spontaneously fight ultra beasts. It was life or death inside there.
Under these circumstances, everyone who survived was not weak.
The entire Chongluo City had been divided into three forces.
One of them was Chu Fan acting under Qin Feng’s orders.
Within a month the Devourer had evolved into a D-tier beast king. Although Qin Feng had reached D-tier, they were definitely no match for a D-tier beast king. They were only normal parallel-trained D-tier ancient warriors.
That being said, the potential for the Devourer was incredibly strong.
As a result, Chu Fan, who had mastered the Devourer, gathered a team of five thousand people under him. Under this team, they could protect people and feed them as well. Overall, under Chu Fan’s protection, there were eventually three hundred to four hundred thousand people who followed under his command.
In addition to Chu Fan, there was also a team that was led by a woman. This woman was the same one that killed the Tiger King that Qin Feng severely wounded.
She was actually in her thirties. In aptitude user terms, she was really not that old but for civilians, she had reached the age where she had experienced a lot in her life that made her understand the hardships of life which only made her more vicious.
After she hid away, she consumed the Tiger King entirely and left no trace behind. In the matter of seven days, the huge tiger ended up in her belly.
Wang Qin’s height suddenly rose up, her body looked like it had been pinched and stretched. She had lost weight.
She was now 185cm in height, so she stood out among ordinary women. Due to her having lost weight, she looked young and beautiful but when it came to ordinary men she exuded absolute pressure.
The people that Wang Qin rescued were all women, the team only had one thousand people and there were no aptitude users among them. They were all civilians and supported by the ultra beasts that Wang Qin hunted down.
However, these women also had families and friends, so their team got bigger and bigger, gradually forming a team of up to twenty thousand people.
The third force was the smallest team with only five hundred people, but it was the most powerful.
It was the only C-tier parallel-trained ancient warrior, Zhang Wu’s team.
After running away for his life, Zhang Wu did not dare try to follow the Fengli Organization out a month before. He even felt that this world was one where he was all-powerful. He stayed behind and contacted a few former aptitude users. After organizing hunts and robbing resources, he discovered that the meat of the ultra beasts could increase a person’s strength, so he naturally became fiercer and fiercer as he tried to rapidly increase his strength.
Of course, Zhang Wu was a lustful man, so there were a large number of young and beautiful women in his team which totaled up to two to three thousand people.
And then, there were teams of a few hundred people about, teams of a few dozen people, all scattered about the decaying, decadent Chongluo City.
In just one month, plant growth had been rampant. Chongluo City was no longer a concrete jungle, but a city covered by lush vegetation. There were always ultra beasts coming into the area, threatening those that tried to survive here.
The most central location of Chongluo City still had people who regularly cleaned it. The Fengli Organization’s stairway was the only hope they had to escape this place.
