Perhaps everyone's memories had been distorted, or perhaps Earth's geography really had changed.
Without unraveling the mystery of the apocalypse, there was no way to reach a conclusion.
"In short, our Safe Zone was built alongside an enormous mountain range-the [Origin God Mountain Range] we all know. The Safe Zone isn't square, but rather long and narrow." Harrison continued, "Areas near the Origin God Mountain Range tend to be safer, so they develop faster in every respect and have lower area numbers."
"For example, our Area No. 7 is right beside the Origin God Mountain Range. To reach Safe Zone Exit No. 123, the most central exit in Area No. 7, you have to pass through a tunnel to the other side of the Origin God Mountain Range."
"Areas farther from the Origin God Mountain Range tend to have higher numbers, fewer people and resources, and slower development. I'm sure you can all understand why. Even in peaceful times, balanced development across every region is impossible, let alone during an apocalypse when everyone fears for their own safety."
"Also, because the Safe Zone is long and narrow, most areas have at least some contact with Outside the Safe Zone, where the gods are active."
"All areas along the Safe Zone's perimeter have Safe Zone exits. Even areas that aren't on the perimeter usually have inter-area routes leading to Safe Zone exits. Altogether, there are more than twelve thousand such areas. In other words, nearly ninety percent of areas have Safe Zone exits, allowing their Sequence Ability Users to go out and hunt gods."
"Of course, some students here must come from areas without a single Safe Zone exit. For example, all one thousand areas in State No. 4, along with half the areas in State No. 12, lie entirely within
