Yet in the end, Chaoyang couldn't refuse Ailuodi and was dragged to the site where the accident had first occurred.
The place had become vastly different from six hours earlier.
Due to the power outage, the buildings had all turned pitch black, resembling silent tombstones from a distance. Occasional glimmers of light came from the streets below, flames from burnt-out vehicles—threads of acrid, burnt odor filled the air, carried away by the night wind for hundreds of kilometers.
However, within this quiet night sky, there echoed many unnatural droning noises, which became denser the closer one got to the intersection where the Ring Gate was located, like the buzzing of mosquitoes.
Chaoyang could clearly see what they were.
All were patrolling drones.
