The people grieved over the deaths of the Top Seaters for three days. The generals and soldiers at the front line no longer had to face the Sea Skeleton King, but none of them were relieved.
They were constantly looking at the horizon with gray skies. They had a strong feeling of suffocation.
Mo Fan had fully recovered during these past three days.
The sea monsters that invaded the Huangpu River had been purged. The remaining survivors were being evacuated from their towns.
As the safe zone kept shrinking, the farmlands, fruit farms, and seafood production were abandoned. The places available for living were shrinking. The demon creatures on land were profiting from humanity’s misfortune too, making the outskirts unsafe. The cities were the only safe places for them.
However, as more people moved to the cities, their resources were depleting faster. They would not have any problem for a few years, but as time went by, they would be troubled by the shortage of food.
The riversides were the best agricultural land for providing the cities with rice and vegetation, but they were now in ruins, resulting in great losses for the humans.
The Huangpu River was not necessarily their country’s lifeline. That was the Yangtze River.
The Yangtze River was also crawling with sea monsters right now. Their goal was to reduce the humans’ territories and take out their supplies. Once the humans lost the Yangtze River, even if they managed to hold the sea monsters off, the people might end up rioting from food shortages.
Human cities were never far from bodies of water.
In fact, the scale of a city was often directly proportional to the size of the river flowing through it, as it was used for transportation, agriculture, drinking water, and a source of food.
Some people were asking why they could not abandon the coasts if the sea monsters were so unstoppable.
If they gave up on the coasts, they were basically giving up the resources needed to sustain their own lives. Without the resources along the coasts, even if they were to move everyone inland, their population would only shrink rapidly. They might even end up as food to the demon creatures on land.
They had finally secured a foothold for themselves and developed their civilization to a certain level. Giving up on the cities along the coasts was the same as going back to the insecure era!
The cities were their safe zones. The cities had to stand for the humans to have a place they could call home. Otherwise, they would only become prey to the demon creatures in the wild!
“Mo Fan, Mo Fan…” Lingling called out.
Mo Fan turned around and saw the little beauty handing him his ringing phone, as if it was an important call.
Mo Fan was puzzled. He took his phone and realized the call was from Chairman Shao Zheng!
The country was in a terrible state. A man like Chairman Shao Zheng had to be preoccupied with many matters. He would not have time to rest. Mo Fan was surprised to receive a call from him.
“Mo Fan, I need your help,” Shao Zheng cut straight to the main topic.
“I’m listening,” Mo Fan nodded.
The favor Chairman Shao Zheng was asking must be extraordinary if he was calling personally. How could Mo Fan not contribute to the war as the next-generation leader of the country after seeing how the generals had sacrificed themselves to stop the Sea Skeleton King?
