Chapitre 130: Arrival

Deserted streets and traffic-free intersections as it turns out were a dime in a dozen, the few cars that we did see braving the perils of the outdoors were few and far between. 

Long silent miles of empty stretches, weaving, and winding  - the concrete jungle suddenly without the hustle and bustle of everyday life. There was a serious lack of bystanders littering the sidewalks, street crossings blinking greens to the asphalt, traffic lights flashing reds only for no one to adhere to it.

It really was an unnerving sight to bear witness to - it was as if the whole city block had just up and left in a heartbeat. Had to do a double-check actually just to confirm that - yes, so long as you're not within the range of the Blight, you are allowed to roam the streets, just don't leave the state.

Seems that most just opted not to do so. Fear of the unknown is a hell of a thing.
