The airfleet under the command of Ves entered into a slightly awkward state. In a matter of weeks, it had ballooned in size and strength. However, it became increasingly harder to sustain this pattern.

People weren't stupid. Even after a lot of criminals and anarchists took advantage of the situation and inflicted a lot of death and destruction, it was impossible for them to engage in wanton destruction for so long!

These crazed murderers either killed each other off, got cleaned up by a stronger force like Ves' airfleet, or simply sobered up and went into hiding.

The outskirts had calmed down. While many ordinary citizens were in dire need of aid, they were no longer under great threat.

One notable development was that millions of refugees who resided in the downtown areas had fled to the periphery. Many of them didn't dare to take the risk of travelling in biovehicles because any random mech might shoot them down for random reasons.
