Just as Wang Yunxiao's unit entered the Imperial City, a refugees' group from Lanton finally gathered at the foot of West Spring Mountain.
The scale of this refugee group was beyond imagination; roughly estimated, it reached over ten thousand people.
Just from their weather-beaten appearance, one can see what a miserable life they led in Lanton Lower City.
Drinking industrial wastewater, eating food scraps, almost every person was afflicted with various ailments, and the overpowering stench was nauseating.
"Since it's so painful, why not leave Lanton?"
Wang Yunxiao once asked Shen Qingxi about this topic.
"Because the remaining industrial buildings in Lanton Lower City can still provide them with a bit of livelihood and shelter. Apart from that, all the resources across the United Kingdom have been plundered by the Upper City."
Shen Qingxi's explanation was difficult for Wang Yunxiao to understand.
