Having crossed the border, the domestic environment wasn't significantly better than Lucia's, but the cities and settlements along the way were much more densely packed than in Lucia.
Compared to Lucia's thousands of kilometers of uninhabited zones, within Flame Country, even in a place like Jiang Province, it's hard to find similar situations. Although the population density isn't high, you can encounter a city or inhabited settlement every few hundred kilometers.
The situation in these settlements is relatively good. Although they are tens or hundreds of kilometers away from major cities, the shelters here have no issues. Whether it's warmth and insulation or supply of goods, even medical support is well in place.
This deeply impressed Chen Xin and his team, having just returned from Lucia, with the stark contrast and comparison between the two countries.
