As they walked over it, they were struck by the ruins of a destroyed city.
Buildings, large and small, were ablaze or charred. Blood stained the streets and bones, gnawed by beasts, were strewn about the city.
It was a curious city, for Elliot found traces of advanced technology such as cell phones, computers, and other important electronic devices.
Many were unknown, but they were there. Radios that still worked seemed to play something in some unknown language, or perhaps they were simply making a noise unintelligible to them.
It was strange all around.
It was like seeing Loen City ruined by beasts.
A fleeting thought popped into everyone's mind: It's a good thing this world has the Global Awakening System; otherwise, maybe they would have ended up the same way.
Walking through the city, they found that silence was also peculiar. It was a howling silence, like thousands of breaths coming together and creating a sound that prevented silence.
