That night.
Red and blue lights cut through the night sky.
Several floating cars flew over the high walls, parking along the riverbank below.
The sounds of gunfire that had echoed for most of the day gradually died down. Reinforced City Guard Army patrol teams continuously rotated, standing guard.
Even late into the night, thick searchlight beams swept across the city's encircling river, relentlessly hunting for any surviving aquatic Mutant Beasts.
"I heard there was a Beast Tide at the harbor today. A bunch of aquatic Mutant Beasts snuck into the city."
"Holy shit, that's terrifying. I'm definitely staying away from the harbor for a while."
"Yeah, no kidding. Best to avoid the riverbanks and sewers, that's for sure."
Passersby on the street whispered among themselves, discussing the day's Beast Tide in hushed tones.
