From Lan Linger's perspective, these two methods each had their own advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage of the first method—a massive migration—was that there would no longer be any need to worry about land. Even if the population increased a hundredfold, there would still be more than enough land. Before the cataclysm, the entire Yaxi Continent had a population in the hundreds of millions. The first wave of monster attacks had killed a great many, and even more residents had been evacuated to the other two continents, while the final rift into the outside world had claimed even more lives. The remaining ninety thousand people were now all concentrated on the island. Therefore, they didn't need to fear having a large population; even a population of ten million could easily be sustained.

For instance, during the most recent search-and-rescue operation by the main force, reports had surfaced claiming that wandering unknown creatures seemed to exist, though careful searching had turned up no relevant evidence. Even so, Lan Linger still treated this as a crucial intelligence-gathering point, meaning the dangers involved in a total migration were far greater.
