In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

Should we say that Theresa is also a leader who emerged from the disaster of that year?

After her initial attempt, she quickly realized that this was definitely not a simple matter of a madman appearing or a riot.

This strange, unprecedented enemy quickly reminded her of the incident that occurred when Kazdel's coalition forces summoned Godan...

She had seen the scene where the 400,000 coalition forces turned into monsters after Godan appeared... She also knew that such a thing could never be fought head-on.

So she almost immediately went on the defensive.

The first step was to destroy the defense facilities of Kazdel City... Thanks to Maria's arrangement, after cutting the ropes binding the iron gate, the entire Kazdel became an isolated city.

"In the beginning, there were many safe zones in Kazdel, but now, there's only one refuge left near the Banshee gathering area."

The man said this, also with his head lowered.

When the soldiers heard these words, they suddenly felt a sense of sadness.

Just a few months ago, Kazdel was still so prosperous and powerful, but in less than three months, the entire Kazdel has become like this.

For a moment, everyone felt heartbroken.

Someone immediately made a suggestion.

"Shall we go and support them?"

Regardless of their stance, they are all Sarkaz, part of the Sarkaz... They are not mercenaries, but soldiers who have received formal training. In this situation, they naturally hope to help their compatriots.

In fact, this is exactly what Maria and Therese wanted to do.

But... before setting off, there is one more thing to clarify.

"Since you said that the Banshee gathering area is the last refuge."

Tracy spoke, his eyes fixed on the man in front of him.

"Then...why are you here?"

"The distance from here to the Banshee gathering area... is quite a distance..."

He said, taking a step back slightly, his eyes narrowing slightly.

371

Chapter 371 You may be our hope.

Tracy's tone gradually became colder.

Although his heart was with Theresa, he remained sober.

According to the man, the entire Kazdel is relatively safe now, except for the shelter near the banshee gathering place... If that's the case, how could the man appear here?

You know, this is right next to the city gate, and the banshees gather near the castle... which is the northernmost part of Kazdel...

If you want to walk the distance between the two without any tools, it will take at least a day.

And now, how could a man appear in this place when he has to avoid monsters, eat, rest and other conditions?

Accident?

He didn't think there would be many accidents in a place like this.

The man was also stunned for a few moments, his pupils suddenly dilated, he looked down at his trembling hands, muttering in confusion.

"Yeah...I...why am I here?"

"I……"

"Oh, right... I remember now. I was planning to take my children and wife and leave here..."

The man whispered, but his body couldn't stop shaking.

Beneath the skin, layers of strange things began to wriggle, as if trying to break free from this skin.

The strong pull made his body look strange and disturbing, and the wriggling of fingers as if struggling spread across his body again and again.

Seeing this, everyone frowned and stepped back, except Maria, who stood still with a look of pity.

"So...where are your children and wife?"

Although the doctor on the side was protected by the priest and retreated, she still couldn't help but look at the man and asked questions.

The man suddenly raised his head as if waking up from a dream.

The empty face, which didn't look like a living person at all, just stared at the doctor and murmured.

"My...my child...my child said he was very hungry..."

"I want to eat...but I don't have anything to eat..."

"There are monsters all around... I'm going to go find something."

"And then... and then I came back..."

"They...they said there was no need to look for it...they found something to eat..."

The man whispered little by little, and his chaotic memories were like extracting clean water from dirty water. Every time he extracted water, the changes in his body became more obvious.

At this point, everyone could already see the human face protruding from beneath his skin!

Two children, and a woman who had already rushed out from behind him, without making a sound, but whose movements conveyed pain...

Such a strange scene, coupled with what the man just said, everyone gradually realized what had happened to the man, and their expressions changed for a moment.

Maria listened quietly to his whispers.

But just when the man was reminiscing about the past, she swung the knife without any hesitation!

“Sulfone——!”

The sharp blade was thrown out and the head flew up!

"this?"

Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.

The doctor standing by gave him a puzzled look.

"He should be almost realizing what he's done... Rather than letting him die in pain after realizing it, it's better to just let him sleep in confusion."

Maria's response was soft, her eyes fixed on the falling head, and her calm tone carried a gentleness that was unique to her.

Maria may not know how to do things right in normal life, but she certainly knows how to make people leave with peace of mind in this situation.

Maria's words made Theresis look at her again.

He really didn't expect that beneath that cold appearance of achievements and ruthless actions, Maria would actually care about these things...

This not only made him admire Maria's strength, but also gave him a better understanding of her character.

But these are all things for later.

Although they still didn't quite understand what had happened to this man, they shook their heads, regrouped their team, and headed towards the Banshee camp.

……

Inside the camp.

In the only relatively intact room left, three people sat around a round table.

A candle was lit in the center of the round table, illuminating each other's slightly uneasy faces.

Theresa, Kel'tsit, and Ramalen.

At this moment, the three people with the highest authority in Kazdel were silent.

"The latest search team has returned, but the food harvest this time is much less than before. If we continue like this, we may find it difficult to survive until the next week..."

Ramalen spoke up and told the story of the task force sent out by the Banshees...After encountering problems, they immediately began to prepare and store food.

Unfortunately, Theresa's initial judgment was to build three large shelters in Kazdel, so she deliberately divided a number of areas for people in other shelters to search for food.

Theresa's original intention was to distribute food so that everyone's survival rate would be similar.

But what she didn't expect was that after collecting food, those camps basically lost contact.

If nothing unexpected happens, they should have been captured.

As soon as the front legs collect food, the back legs are destroyed...

To be honest, even if there was an accident, it would be too much of a coincidence.

At least Lamaren found it hard to accept such a statement.

The only reasonable explanation...

"The enemy deliberately arranged this, hoping to see us fighting and struggling due to food shortages."

She said this with a serious look.

Theresa on the side also frowned and nodded slowly.

She also realized this, but... unfortunately, things have already happened, and they have no room for regret. They can only consider how to continue to face the next problem.

As she thought about this, Theresa's gaze fell on Kal'tsit who was standing beside her.

At this time, the big green cat had lost her usual strength and spirit. Although she was still holding on, anyone could see that she was struggling.

"Babel Tower is also doing its best to save those refugees, but... due to the current shortage of supplies, some people still died due to lack of timely treatment, and some people's health is deteriorating..."

Kal'tsit deliberately didn't make the content too clear. She knew that too clear a number would make Theresa sad, so she chose to be vague.

But even so, through Kal'tsit's words, Theresa could still sense the slightly cruel process.

Due to a lack of medical supplies, medical operators can only rely on Originium techniques to treat patients.

But Originium skills themselves are a double-edged sword... During this period, not only the patients, but also many doctors on their side have experienced a certain degree of physical and mental collapse.

In fact, Kal'tsit has received more than dozens of reports of Babel Tower members being corroded by Originium.

But... there's nothing we can do about it.

If the doctors at Babel Tower don't step forward, the injured patients will die... But if they step forward to save the patients, the safety of the doctors at Babel Tower will not be guaranteed.

Faced with this dilemma, even Kal'tsit couldn't make a decision.

She could only issue orders and ask the doctors to do their best... Even if they couldn't do it, she wouldn't blame anyone for it.

But such orders seemed to have no effect...the doctors' condition did not improve.

After all, those who can join the Tower of Babel are a group of people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for their ideals... For them, no one is ready for martyrdom earlier than them.

Especially in today's extreme circumstances, their support for each other has exacerbated the spread of such emotions.

If it were normal times, Kal'tsit would definitely think this was a good thing, as everyone could unite as one.

But this time, she felt her own fatigue.

Because she couldn't give the order to these doctors to stop risking their own lives to save other lives, she could only watch as these people who joined and walked all the way with the Tower of Babel fell one after another on the road to treatment.

And I can't do anything...

"……Um."

After listening to Kal'tsit's brief report, Theresa was silent for a long time, then nodded and responded.

The situation was dire, but she had no solution.

What made her even more sad was that it was impossible for her to continue to appear in front of everyone and encourage them as she usually did.

For the Sarkaz people who are truly in trouble, what they need is not spiritual encouragement... In fact, the fact that they have gathered here and have not rioted shows that their spirit is still strong to a certain extent.

What they need are substantial resources.

Food, water, medicine, rest area...

Everything urgently required her to give an order to resolve it quickly, but when those life and death decisions appeared before her, it was difficult for her to give a real answer.

A choice often means that she has to give up one group of people and choose another.

The decisions made in just one week were more suffocating than those made by Theresa during her more than 200 years in power.

Her mind and body gradually reached their limits...

But even so, she still didn't give up.

"Then... Kal'tsit, have you done any research on this disaster outbreak?"
