Chapter 379 Reaping the consequences
126 days after birth.
After a night of work, the territory of the Cleansers Alliance was finally suppressed.
Although Kato Kengo's side only has about a thousand evolved beings.
But their strength has been tested by blood and fire.
On the Cleaners Alliance side, apart from the high-ranking members who were ambushed last night, there are still more than a dozen Tier 3 Evolvers who are not at the missile launch center.
They were all killed in pursuit by Kato Kengo and the others.
However, to the astonishment of Kato Kengo and the others, there were very few evolved beings here.
The entire city of Fuzhou has a population of over 1.5 million.
Because Japan is located in an earthquake zone, and Fukugang City is not a large city, there are very few high-rise buildings.
The vast majority of people's houses are regular detached houses.
Therefore, the earthquake that occurred on the night of the spiritual energy revival tide did not result in as many casualties as those in the northeastern snow-capped mountains and the peninsula.
Of the 1.5 million people in Fukang City, more than half survived, nearly 800,000 of them.
The proportion of evolved individuals in the total population is approximately one percent.
Therefore, according to Kato Kengo's recollection, the number of evolved beings in Fukugang City at the beginning of the spiritual energy revival was definitely more than 15,000.
Even though the pollution issue led to irreconcilable differences, developed into local conflicts, and resulted in some deaths and injuries.
However, Kato Kengo estimated that when the Cleaners Alliance was abandoned as polluters and retreated to the interior of Kushu Island, the number of evolved beings in the Cleaners Alliance should have exceeded eight thousand.
Even if there were some losses due to the evolution of native creatures on Jiuzhou Island during the process of retreating inland, there shouldn't have been too many deaths or injuries, right?
However, after the crackdown, statistics showed that the number of evolved beings in the entire Cleanser Alliance was less than two thousand.
It's less than 25% of what it was back then.
It's important to understand that they didn't face the onslaught of the sea monster tide like Kato Kengo and the others.
And then came even more shocking news for Kato Kengo.
The Cleaners Alliance of today is not just the Cleaners Alliance that retreated from Fukugang City to the inland areas back then.
Because Kuju Island is not large, and besides the Fukuoka nuclear power plant, there are several cities and several nuclear power plants along the coastline.
Therefore, the other survivors from other cities on Kuju Island also retreated inland due to pollution issues, and encountered the survivors from Fukugang City in the center of Kuju Island.
Originally, everyone thought that by coming together, there would be strength in numbers and they could overcome the difficulties together.
As a result, the problem of food shortages was quickly exposed.
The leaders of the Cleaners Alliance in Fukugang City were the first to notice signs of a food shortage.
Therefore, relying on being the largest city on Jiuzhou Island, and having a larger population and stronger military force than the survivors of other cities, they launched an attack.
Claiming that excessive decentralization of power and disagreements would lead to serious survival problems, they turned their guns on survivors in other cities.
Unsurprisingly, the Cleaners Alliance of Fukang City, possessing a missile launch center and a wide range of conventional military equipment far exceeding that of other cities, easily defeated the survivors from the other cities.
In this process, they not only wiped out all the evolved beings who held power in the cities, but also killed a lot of civilians.
The goal was to use the pretext of consolidating power to justify a reduction in the population.
Otherwise, with such a large population, the vast majority of people would starve to death.
That time, hundreds of thousands of people died.
To prevent the plague, the Cleansers' Alliance burned the bodies of the dead together.
Because the food shortage problem had not yet emerged at that time, the aroma of burning corpses did not whet the appetites of the survivors.
However, it was precisely because of this that the evolved beings of the Cleaners Alliance discovered, while cleaning up the furnace ash, that those moving evolved plants liked to take root in the furnace ash.
Thus, they discovered the existence of evolutionary factors.
They sifted out evolutionary factors from the furnace ash, consumed them, and became even more powerful.
Later, together they ruled over the entire Jiuzhou Island, with nearly two million survivors.
The previous riots killed many survivors, which delayed the onset of the food shortage problem.
However, this is merely a short-sighted solution.
As time went on, food shortages eventually surfaced.
However, this is all because the evolved beings of the Cleanser Alliance, as well as the armies armed with firearms, have controlled the food supply.
Food shortages are relative.
The evolved beings with military power, along with the army, firmly controlled the remaining food supplies.
Their numbers are small, only tens of thousands.
The food that is only enough to feed two million people for a few months is enough to feed tens of thousands of people for ten or twenty years.
The food prepared before the spiritual energy revival has been completely consumed.
The inland animals have been almost completely eaten up.
Even with various plants, the survivors kept trying, eating everything that could be eaten.
Grass roots, tree bark—anything that could fill their stomachs, no matter how unpalatable or nutritious, they would stuff into their mouths.
Because of these attempts, some people were poisoned to death, some died from bloating, and some choked to death.
Seeing the corpses of these dead, the primal desire for survival hidden deep within their genes finally drove the other survivors to take a step that stripped them of their humanity.
Thus, the entire Cleaners Alliance transformed from a safe haven into a perilous jungle.
No one knows whether they have been targeted and become someone else's prey.
Ordinary people are hunting ordinary people.
Meanwhile, the evolved beings at the higher levels are also hunting each other.
They knew very well that even if only tens of thousands of people were eating the leftovers, it would only last for a decade or two.
There are still too many people.
Moreover, having enjoyed the power that evolution brings, everyone knows that only those with a higher level of evolution can have the last laugh on this cannibalistic island of Jiuzhou.
However, the evolved creatures of Jiuzhou Island have been hunted to extinction.
They had no other choice but to advance to a higher level of evolution.
Thus, the hunt among the evolved beings also broke out in secret.
Originally, when the Cleansers Alliance evacuated to the inland, it still had more than 8,000 evolved beings.
But this long hunt has continued until now, producing more than a hundred third-tier evolvers, while the total number of evolvers has plummeted to less than two thousand.
It can be said that every evolved being here has risen to the top by stepping over mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Unfortunately, their rise to power was achieved through guns and cannons, without honing their combat skills.
The most terrifying thing is that the Cleaners Alliance, which originally gathered the vast majority of survivors on Jiuzhou Island, now has a total population of less than 200,000.
Before the spiritual energy revival, the problems the Sakura Kingdom government had with the use of nuclear power caused unbearable pain for every citizen of Sakura Kingdom after the revival.
