Judging from the buildings throughout the city, most places had been newly built, but the urban facilities and green belts were even more complete than before. It was clear that after Suitcase Man had come here, production and daily life in Fairytale City had quickly returned to normal—perhaps even better than before.
There were no obvious signs of fighting. Instead, some small objects had been knocked over, such as tables, chairs, and benches, or things spilled across the street—
After walking through half the city, Xu Huo still had not seen anyone. He took a map from a small shop by the street and then went to Government Hall.
Unlike the traces of daily life scattered throughout the city, Government Hall had been cleaned out thoroughly. It was obvious that some empty spaces had originally been used to hold equipment, but now they had been cleared completely. The enormous Government Hall had not retained much of value. Most of what remained were low-tech auxiliary tools purchased in bulk from other sub-districts. They bore no special markings, much less any clues.
Only after checking both inside and outside the building did Xu Huo emerge, his face clouded.
Government Hall was not even particularly messy. Everything that could be taken had been removed calmly and methodically. Not even personal belongings had been left behind. This clearly had not been an evacuation carried out under urgent circumstances.
He then went to Yongxing Club. Unlike Government Hall, the club's facilities had not been removed. Only the surveillance equipment at the entrances and exits and in the public areas had disappeared. Unlike the damaged surveillance systems elsewhere in the city, Yongxing Club's equipment had left behind not a trace.
Xu Huo did not stay long before heading to Granny Bai's former residence.
