"Not even one?" Xiao Jinsheng was shocked.
"Not even one. The terminal updates the data monthly." Que Zelian nodded. "It’s because of the toxins in Mist West."
On Mist Continent, both female humans and beast husbands venture to Mist West to complete tasks.
Even with wristbands that counteract the poisonous fog, it still affects the task takers’ bodies.
No matter the gender, living in such an environment means everyone carries poison in their systems to some extent, making childbirth impossible.
Saying that the birth rate on Mist Continent is "extremely low" is simply putting it nicely.
Xiao Jinsheng had never felt any strong emotions about this; after all, she was not even twenty years old yet. Back in the old days, she hadn’t even graduated from college and was still the type to call her mom for help whenever things went wrong.
As for having babies... it was something she had zero feelings about.
She couldn’t imagine herself taking care of a baby more troublesome than her.
But whether she wants to have a child or not is one thing, an entire continent going five years without a single newborn? That’s humanity teetering on the brink of extinction.
