As Jason checked the area, his mind raced with possibilities. The lack of monsters and the absence of people led him to imagine on what might have happened. He could only imagine that the monsters had come from another part of the area and either killed everyone or forced them to flee. Either way, nothing good had happened there.
Noticing the lack of a barricade on the other side of the city, Jason's suspicions seemed to be confirmed. It appeared that the monsters had indeed overrun this part of the city, driving out or eliminating anyone who had once lived there.
With a grim understanding, Jason realized that he was likely witnessing the aftermath of a brutal attack. The once-thriving city had fallen into chaos, its streets now deserted and its buildings in ruins. It was another sobering reminder of the dangers that lurked in this world and the fragility of human civilization in the face of such threats.
