Before the skies over Chicken Snake Country even brightened, Wuliang City Airport welcomed its sole inbound flight.
Moby Dick disembarked the plane and was immediately controlled by more than ten PMC soldiers, while the bodyguards with him were stripped of their arms.
Moby Dick recognized the equipment they wore and knew the financial backer behind them must be extraordinary.
These men were from the renowned Atlas Company in the PMC world, clad in their signature exoskeletons and armed with HBR3 automatic rifles.
The group was escorted away from the airport in a convoy of twelve armored SUVs, which took them right to the summit hotel halfway up the hills of Wuliang City.
Moby Dick stepped out of the car and looked up at the dimly lit sky, like a sinner in Hell gazing towards heaven.
Behind him lay the city's night view at the foot of the rolling hills, and before him were the ruins of a large luxury hotel, comparable to the Pei Guode Hotel.
