The gunfire gradually died down as the number of corporeal Weird coming ashore began to drop.
The sun began to rise as usual, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This could count as one of the few S-Rank Weird incidents with a relatively low casualty rate.
But only one-well, two people remained on guard: Luo Xia and Wan Zhuo.
