Liu Zhi stayed behind for about seven days. Sadako hadn't been idle for a single moment during that time.
She was constantly contacting her friends and such. Liu Zhi noticed that Sadako had a very unusual way of getting in touch with people.
She sent a doppelganger to deliver messages directly. As for how her doppelganger got there, there was no need to worry about that. As long as there was a television or a telephone nearby, she could reach it with ease.
As things stood, even though Tokyo had become a strange and eerie place, its technology had been unaffected. There were bound to be televisions and telephones around.
After Sadako arrived, she could immediately get in touch with people. Before long, large numbers of troops began making their way toward Sumida, where she was.
Sadako then went to Liu Zhi again.
"Could you put away that fog? With it around, the enemies can't get in, but the people I've called over are having a hard time getting in too."
Liu Zhi understood at once. Not all the people Sadako had called over were undead.
That was only natural, really. It was impossible for an entire city as large as Tokyo to be made up of undead.
If those people entered the Eternal Mist, it might take only a few days for them all to become undead. Then there'd be no point in Sadako calling them over.
So Sadako could only ask Liu Zhi whether he could withdraw the Eternal Mist.
Liu Zhi was busy processing the materials at the time.
When he heard her question, a sudden idea came to him.
He had previously considered taking the Eternal Mist and the undead inside it with him.
But he didn't have many divine artifacts, so taking them away wasn't
