The officers

While leaving the train station, Erik and June stepped into the streets of New Alexandria, only to be met by a ghost city.

The vibrant life that once filled the city's avenues was now replaced by an unsettling quiet.

The attack of the Heniate's offspring, which had turned the inhabitants into mindless beasts, left deep scars not just on the infrastructure but on the community's soul.

"It looks like the city never recovered from the attack," June said, his voice carrying a somber tone.

Erik nodded, scanning the surroundings. "Volkov has his work cut out for him. Rebuilding this place won't be easy, especially with half the population gone or turned."

As they walked, the sparse population became apparent. The few civilians they encountered hurried along, casting cautious glances their way.
