That night, amidst the sprawling ruins, The Welcome Inn—Nanshan Town's only inn—had a rare surge of business.
Some came with their families in tow, while others, like Chu Mu, carried all their worldly possessions, looking just like refugees.
Teams of Inspectors moved back and forth along the streets, some cleaning up the ruins, others visiting the sites of funerals to perform the reviled act of unsealing coffins for autopsies.
Nanshan Town was once again thrown into a clamor that night.
Chu Mu stood at the window, gazing at the clamor on the streets below, and couldn't help but sigh.
A single mine had doomed Nanshan Town, and even the whole of Qinghe County, to a future with almost no hope of peace.
A complete and utter hotbed of conflict.
His uniform could spare him a great deal of trouble, but at the same time, it inevitably dragged him into one storm after another.
'Greed… I'm still too greedy…'
