And they number quite a lot.
In the distance on the Wilderness, a group of emaciated people awkwardly wielded hoes like the walking dead.
At first, Luo Yan thought they were farming, but he noticed they were actually burying the ripe crops into the ground, crops that could have saved their lives.
And even more puzzling was a man, so starved he was barely alive, attempting to dig up the buried food, only to be beaten to death by a group of fanatical Cultists.
The food cannot be eaten.
But people seemingly can.
Luo Yan speculated that these Cultists were performing some sort of Evil ritual.
Only this could explain why they engaged in such illogical and unreasonable actions.
The wails of "Grove" finally caught someone's attention, and a sallow emaciated woman, delighted by the discovery, quietly took it away.
Realizing she wasn't its mother, "Grove" struggled even harder, its cries tinged with a hint of fear.
And regret.
