In a world where people could not recognize pollution or understand just how tyrannical the corrosive nature of strange energy was, this was already the best they could do.
Some people noticed that the newly arrived Fu Zeyu seemed quite curious about those monsters.
They told him, "Those monsters are terrifying. Not only are their bodies powerful, but their injuries heal very quickly too. They're extremely hard to kill."

Fortunately, although they did not understand pollution, they understood epidemic prevention. Before those who had been contaminated could become mutated monsters, they would...
However, with so many mutated monsters, perhaps only cities like this one—with strict chains of command and ironclad military discipline—could abide by this rule.
Those abandoned villages and towns might have begun with only a few mutated monsters. After others were accidentally contaminated and developed symptoms, their families could not bear to abandon them.
They only thought they had fallen ill and might still be saved.

Moreover, there was one aspect in which ancient times were even more ruthless than the modern era: people with epidemics could be driven away before they died.
Or, when the disease could no longer be contained, the source could simply be cut off.
