Tokyo in the Parasite Beast World still lay in a wasteland of ruins and ghosts.
The lingering sacred presence left behind by the Saint-rank powerhouses still caused paranormal incidents to occur from time to time.
Broken walls and rubble were everywhere, with faint black smoke swirling around distorted, incorporeal spirits.
The few nearby residents who remained, along with the handful of pioneers who had arrived, were constantly searching the ruins for anything useful.
It was a scene of wasteland reclamation.
In the middle of these ruins, on a relatively open plaza, the surrounding area had been cleared a little, and several defensive positions had been built from stacks of sandbags.
Some barbed wire had been strung up to enclose a small area, protecting the transmission device inside.
As far as the meager defenses went, they were nowhere near the level of the stadium they had first arrived at, or the defenses in Starfall New Frontier.
Just from seeing this scene and making a few rough deductions, Tao Yu had already concluded that Dilong City had practically given up on this new settlement!
It wasn't that they'd abandoned it completely. They had still set up a transmission device to bring Saint Ou back, and they would gradually make use of the place rather than let it go to waste.

Under these circumstances, the place had naturally become an ordinary Pioneer Zone.
At the very least, it wasn't
