Chapter 67:
On the seventh day of the special event in Kadman City, as soon as the players logged in, they saw that the city ruins they had explored over the past few days had undergone a dramatic transformation.
In the distance, flames covered the ruins, burning fiercely, as if casting a layer of scorching fire over the gloomy city. The rising heat distorted the light, making it hard to see clearly, while nearby were three districts that had already burned the previous night.
Black ashes covered the ground, reflecting a desolate scene.
“Burning, it’s really burning.”
Meow King exclaimed as he stood amidst the ashes with his Four Heavenly Kings and his old buddy Little Hands.
Behind them, they dragged two large carts filled with fiery oil made by Lady Tris’ secret recipe. Their mission was to deliver these supplies to the front lines for the Kadman Civilian Self-Defense Force NPCs, who would then set up the next district to be burned.
This arson operation was proceeding according to plan. According to Murphy and Tris’ calculations, by midnight today, the entire outer city district could be purified by fire.
“Hey, you know, there really aren’t any of those weird astral shadows in the areas that have been burned, and even the uncomfortable black snow is gone.”
Meow’s old buddy “Don’t Need Hands to Show Off” prodded a pile of ashes nearby with his battle spear, shattering a clay pot and scattering a few copper coins, which the nimble novice quickly pocketed.
