In the sewage networks of East City, pipes connected into a closed system had already extended beyond the city limits, leading straight to the sewage treatment plant outside the city!
Surveillance showed that at two o'clock in the afternoon, dozens of tanker trucks filled with chemical waste lined up and drove out of East City sewage treatment plant's gate, raising dust, setting off on a journey without a return date.
Likewise, they disappeared without a trace.
And in the sedimentation tanks of the wastewater plant, there remained about half a ton of fragmented liquid gold, along with hundreds of times more of foul-smelling rotting substances…
It's probably too rushed to carefully sift through, and too nauseous to care.
Forget it!
According to calculations, besides that, with proper recovery efforts, about ninety kilograms could still be found along the water pipes.
This is all they have left as a consolation prize.
