t residential areas that were already waiting for them with great firepower.
They instead gathered together some five different species and attacked old residential areas with relatively weak defenses.
Their gathered strength was enough to catch the humans off guard.
Second, the monsters had also learned to attack the important points in Dragon City.
The power plants, water plants, crystal warehouses, and gene farms were all targeted.
Among them, the monsters focused the most on the water plants and gene farms.
Aside from the monsters who descended at night, a batch of abnormal beasts like the Flame Rats, Lightning Pythons, and Brain Infesting Worms had long since been hiding around the water plants and gene farms.
Even if their suicidal attacks did not manage to break the basic facilities that supported the operations of Dragon City, the acid and poison they released when they exploded polluted the water source and farms, so Dragon City, which was already having a hard time providing enough resources to its people, would have an even harder time in this regard.
Third, monsters had learned how to assassinate important figures.
Many of the specialists who were engaged in frontier disciplines were assassinated or struck down by monsters who had decided to group together.
Even though a lot of the specialists did not die, the casualty rate of specialists was still much higher than in any of the past fog attacks.
It was hard to believe that the high number of specialist deaths was just an unfortunate coincidence.
The mere idea made people’s skins crawl.
When they thought about how the abnormal beasts had specifically created something like the Brain Infesting Worm to target the human brain and central nervous system, the worries of the abnormal beast research department might be very real.
The abnormal beasts and abnormal humans had long since infiltrated Dragon City and were observing, thinking, and learning about them in the dark.
They also gradually developed a monster civilization that would not lose to human civilization.
The fog attack might have come to an end, but the aftermath of the battle had yet to be cleared up.
The first problem was the plague.
They always faced a major plague after every battle.
This was common knowledge in warcraft.
Besides, the Other World was a place where viruses, bacteria, and cells were too active.
The abnormal beasts had also specifically upgraded some monsters to make sure that after they died, their carcasses would definitely explode to spread viruses, which would specifically target the human immune system.
In the next month or so, Dragon City faced three large-scale plagues one after another.
The source of disease was always some new bacterial strain.
They targeted the human body and did not seem like something natural.
They seemed like a genetically produced bacteria.
One of the plagues had even brought back the zombie virus, which had disappeared a long time ago.
The brand new mutated zombie virus could cause a human to turn into a highly mobile zombie within a short half a minute.
In just one breath, they could jump up to the third or fourth floor.
And even if their heads were blasted off, they might fire off poison that contained fatal viruses when their organs exploded.
It was not easy to get rid of the plagues, however.
A lot of people had lost their homes due to them being destroyed or polluted by monsters, so they had to stay in tents or temporary prefab houses.
Those spaces were cramped, and there was a major lack of resources.
They could not even guarantee clean water and clean food, which were basic daily necessities.
This created beneficial conditions for the spread of viruses.
Rage among humans also spread with the viruses.
Even noble people gradually regained their primal, wild nature when they lived in an environment where they lacked basic resources and their survival instincts were stimulated.
Three-five months after a large-scale fog descended, the crime rate in Dragon City would always increase by several times the average rate.
Aside from the lack of resources, the arrival of the monsters also led to the humans’ mental strength indices plummeting.
It caused all sorts of complications since their minds became twisted.
And even if their mental strength indices returned to normal after some time, it did not mean that no injuries were left behind in the brains.
Even if the wounds were healed, horrible scars may be left.
This was even more the case for superhumans.
First, the superhumans were the vanguards in the fight against monsters.
When they rushed to the frontlines, they had to face a lot of monsters’ mind attacks, so their mental strength indices were much more likely to fall.
Even sturdy metal would go through metal fatigue if it was bent repeatedly and would snap.
While the human mind was fragile and mysterious.
Second, superhumans’ brain cells and the central nervous system experienced long-term stimulation by spirit energy, so they were more likely to enter spirit energy deviation compared to normal humans.
Monster controllers and machine masters also had to open the ports in their brains to use brainwaves to control biochemical beasts and runic symbol machines.
Abnormal beasts, thus, had a much easier time invading their brains and planting seeds of evil.
Hence, every time a large-scale fog descended, a lot of heroes with great achievements under their name would go through spirit energy deviation and fall into darkness.
Then, they would turn into evil superhumans who would do harm.
This was something that humans were helpless to change and could only feel sad about.
The Survival Committee and Supernatural Tower wanted to solve all the problems.
No one was willing to watch countless citizens lose their homes.
No one wanted to see their companions who had been laughing happily yesterday turn into zombies that had poison dribbling out of their mouths, either.
There were even fewer people who wanted to see citizens fighting fiercely against each other for a bottle of drinkable water, and they did not want to see the heroes who had sworn to protect Dragon City forever be consumed by darkness and turn into lunatics that were like demons.
But if anyone wanted to solve these problems, they needed an astronomical amount of resources.
