Zheng and I were in disguise, covering our faces and wearing soldier uniforms. Zheng wore Yi Liang's belt while I wore a warrior's light blue one. Though it didn't feel necessary, since the street was deserted after the whole incident.
We walked in broad daylight, the trees swaying in the spring winds of the afternoon. It would have been a good time to come out for a walk with Zheng if we didn't have responsibilities at hand.
The two of us strode down the street that Hong's store was originally in, our footsteps the only sounds against the dirt road. Only Yi Liang and Nian Qu had come with us, since we decided to go incognito.
Since there was no one else here, we decided to take off our masks and breathe easier.
"Heavens," Zheng muttered as we took in the damage. At least 24 stores had been trashed on both sides of the street.
"Why would anyone target He Dong area?" Yi Liang asked, crossing his arms as we finally got to Hong's store.
