Many people can only huddle under dilapidated roofs or live in desolate wilderness with nowhere to go.

The cold night wind penetrated their skin like a knife, making them shiver.

The scorching sun during the day scorched the earth mercilessly, leaving them nowhere to hide.

Life has become like hell for them, and hunger and fear have become the main theme of every day.

But it was just evening, and night had not yet fallen.

Mengyue County is already filled with an atmosphere of chaos that is even stronger than the previous few days.

There were sounds of sharpening knives and shouts of curses everywhere, foreshadowing the coming war.

Although before the disaster struck, they never thought of wielding the butcher knife against their own kind.

But now, in order to survive, those male survivors who have chosen the fighting route have almost all been pushed to the edge of the cliff and have completely lost their minds.

Even if Xi Ruyue led the remaining defense team to walk in the gathering place, trying to maintain the shaky order and order those survivors who were preparing to cause trouble to return to their residences, she could not avoid the battle that was bound to break out at night.

She saw endless exhaustion and despair on those people's faces.

Their eyes have long been empty, and they have lost hope and confidence in life.

Stop?

Unless these people can be awakened to have the confidence to live, they can only rely on fighting violence with violence.

Some may ask why not escape this hellish territory?

The answer is simple.

Without supplies, where can we go?

Other territories in the New World are busy preparing for the coming cold spring, and no one is willing to take in a group of burdensome people.

And as the area continues to expand, it is almost impossible to cross thousands of kilometers of barren mountains and rivers with only legs and a few supplies.

Taking advantage of the last ray of sunset, the defense team returned to the only remaining station.

"No news yet?"

As soon as she returned to the station, Xi Ruyue couldn't wait to find Chu Chaofei.

However, what is disappointing, or despairing, is that the message they sent out was like a mud cow sinking into the sea.

Most people in the defense team have used up all their disaster points, but still haven't received any reply.

"No, we monitor the world channel all the time."

"Don't worry, maybe you missed it because you were scrolling too many times."

Chu Chaofei comforted him gently, but in fact he was also constantly enveloped in anxiety and uneasiness.

If I didn't see it once or twice, I would be forgiven, but I didn't see it hundreds of times.

Xi Ruyue took a deep breath and seemed to be trying to calm down her emotions.

She raised her head and looked at Chu Chaofei, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "How much supplies do we have?"

Chu Chaofei was stunned, thinking that Xi Ruyue would suddenly ask this question.

But as his eyes involuntarily glanced outside the station, he got the answer.

Unknowingly, more and more women and children had gathered near the defense station.

Today's scene seems to be more severe than ever before. The crowd has almost filled the two surrounding blocks, their eyes full of helplessness and longing.

"This is too much. If we still send it to them, we will last for half a month at most!"

Although half of the inventory was taken away by the previous lord, many people actually still have some supplies hidden, and there is absolutely no problem in sustaining them for a few months.

Most of the people gathered around now are poor people who have been robbed of supplies.

Xi Ruyue was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking about something, but finally said: "Come on, we can last at least half a month, they"

Before she finished speaking, Chu Chaofei looked at the red blood in her eyes and couldn't help feeling sad.

As the new lord elected by the defense team, Xi Ruyue has not had a good rest for many days, but she still has not been able to clean up the mess.

Things are getting worse now

Chu Chaofei took a deep breath and could only try to make his voice sound firm: "Okay, then you can rest for a while, and I will lead people to distribute supplies."
