Although the great fire, due to strategically planned evacuations, didn't burn for long, the rubble was still difficult to clear. Often, it required violent efforts from Ger and Cordova and others to make a way through, so the advance of the combined forces was not very fast.
Throughout the journey, Motan kept observing the environment around them, finding numerous remains of mutants. These charred bodies had been completely destroyed.

This suggested the latter might have been fighting while retreating, dealing with these monsters as they made their way to the central area—the Holy Church Union Chapel of Savva City.
