Qu Jianlei spoke first, "Is this... an enemy attack on Central City?"
"It seems so," Xiao Moshan nodded, though he looked equally bewildered, "Who would raid Central City... the Gorge?"
Soon, the distant sounds of gunfire and cannons could be heard, starting sparse but becoming increasingly dense.
Soon after, there were intense explosions, far away yet powerful enough to cause tremors in the safe house.
The sound of gunfire lasted for over an hour, before becoming sparse again.
Up until two hours later, there were still occasional gunshots.
After another half hour, the gunfire suddenly intensified, like popping beans, though from another direction.
Then, the booming explosions followed, ringing incessantly, louder than before.
This time, the battle lasted until midnight, when the gunfire finally weakened.
But once the gunfire weakened, it ended fairly quickly, with the shots dying out in about ten minutes.
Finally, a loud bang was heard, and then everything fell silent.
