When God sent Cain to the foreign people where were the people if it was only Adam and Eve?

One thought:
God did not send Cain 'to foreign people'.
Genesis 4:8-16 reveals that when Cain killed his brother, his punishment was to be sent away to the land of 'Nod' ('fugitivness') . He was to become a 'fugitive' on earth. The ONLY people on earth at that time were Adam's descendants, so Cain took his sister as his wife, and lived apart from the others. Since people lived for hundreds of years, back then(Genesis 5:5), eventually he would meet other sisters, brothers, cousins, nephew, nieces, that he had not known, who were aware of what he'd done, so God set up a protection for him so he would not be killed(Genesis 4:15).

If Eve was the only woman on earth who did her son do it with?
Eve was not the only woman on earth. Adam and Eve were only the first people on Earth. If Cain had to be put a mark of protection on, then who did he need to be protected from. There were probably other people. Who knows, Eve could have done it with Cain.
Is Cain related to Jesus Christ?
Jesus Christ was related to Cain only by the fact that Jesus was related to Adam (Humanly speaking) and Cain was a son of Adam. But Cain was not the family line that Jesus came from. Jesus came from the line of Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve. Several thousands of years separated the two generations.

When Cain killed Abel and was sent to the land of Nod where did all the people come from that were there?
The Bible does not offer a clear explanation of where the people in the land of Nod came from.
