Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 620 - 584 The Great Purge

Perfikot was actually quite reluctant to use the Godslaying Armor to cleanse the outer district.

Because doing so involves considerable risks, a more practical approach would be deploying Flying Airships for bombardment.

It's hard to say how many innocent civilians are left in the outer district nowadays.

After the rounds of tsunamis, typhoons, and cold waves, even the inner district faced various issues despite having shelters and Energy Towers built by Perfikot and the efforts of Langton City Government, imagine what the outer district is like with almost no ability to resist these disasters.

One could say that just these few rounds of disaster strikes have caused at least two-thirds of the population in the outer district to be lost.

Afterward, the populace with a bit of conscience or those not bewitched by the Evil God Sect have mostly entered the inner district.

What remains are either irredeemable scum or thoroughly bewitched cultists of the Evil God Sect; even if there are innocent people left, they are very few.

In such a situation, even if Perfikot uses Thermobaric bombs for cleanup, it would at most result in some "necessary sacrifices".

But considering that the killing effectiveness of Thermobaric bombs against beings with Divinity has not been verified, Perfikot still prepared the Godslaying Armor for battle readiness.

If the first round of Thermobaric bombing does not achieve the desired effect, or if the Evil God Sect performs divine descent or other special occurrences, then the Godslaying Armor will be the final insurance to resolve the issue.

Before that happens, the Thermobaric bombs dropped by Flying Airships will show the cultists of the Evil God Sect what technology is truly powerful.

This time, Perfikot deployed a total of seven Flying Airships, two of which are large transport vessels responsible for carrying the Godslaying Armor and two Steam Knight Orders, while also managing the main bombing operations.

The remaining five small combat vessels were also equipped with Thermobaric bombs, but they are only small Thermobaric bombs suitable for targeted clearing rather than large-scale bombardment.

The main task of these small combat vessels is to protect the large transport vessels and clear any potential aerial units.

Of course, when conditions permit, they will also drop their small Thermobaric bombs after the large transport vessels bomb, either as a finishing move or to clear targets not worth using heavy Thermobaric bombs on. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Although they are small Thermobaric bombs, their explosive power can still clear one or two strongholds of the Evil God Sect without any issue.

Thus, the fleet composed of seven Flying Airships took off from the inner district and soon arrived at the outer district.

By this time, the outer district was mostly frozen under ice and snow, with only a few areas showing traces of human activity.

All streets were covered by layers of ice and snow, and most buildings showed only half of their structure above the ice.

Previously, the water brought by the tsunami had not fully receded, and after being frozen by the cold wave, it resulted in over half of the outer district being encased in ice.

This isn't referring to area but height.

It's evident that those who managed to survive under such conditions must either have exceptional abilities or have broken the human moral baseline.

It's important to know that the outer district no longer has sources of food; aside from resorting to cannibalism, there's no other food source available.

If it's just cannibalism, that might still be somewhat understandable, after all, survival is crucial under these conditions, and consumption of deceased comrades is not considered a grave problem, mainly concentrating on moral and ethical aspects.

But the issue is, in such an outer district controlled by the Evil God Sect, do you think there are only people consuming corpses?

Perfikot does not believe such a thing, knowing well how human nature turns when constraints are stripped away.

No one can maintain their moral baseline in such an environment, and those who do will be overpowered by those who don't.

This is the harsh reality of this world unless there are strong external factors like laws, social morals, and authority to influence and constrain.

If all these are absent, sometimes humans may not be much better than beasts.

Perhaps even worse, since beasts only resort to cannibalism under extreme circumstances, whereas humans, once the moral baseline is broken, consume their kin with ease and even consider it a rightful food source.

So when facing a place that still showed signs of human activity, Perfikot completely ignored the figures waving from the buildings, immediately ordered the first Thermobaric bomb of the day to be dropped.

"In such extreme conditions, how do they still have strength to wave at us? Where do they get food?" Under Perfikot's words, the captain was silenced from explaining or defending.

The captain, upon thinking it over, felt deep fear, then loudly shouted into the speaking funnel, ordering the weapon officer to throw the Thermobaric bomb from the vessel.

The Thermobaric bomb was thrown, exploding mid-air forming a white mist, followed by dazzling flames covering everything, engulfing the entire street in fire.

"May the flames cleanse all the sins of this world," Perfikot closed her eyes and mouthed a quiet prayer.

She knows not who exactly she is praying to, nor does she expect anyone to respond.

If she must specify, perhaps only she can respond to her own prayer.

Because subsequently, more Thermobaric bombs were dropped, with the lower district nearly shrouded in continuous explosions and flames.

To thoroughly cleanse these potential sins, several small combat vessels even exhausted the Thermobaric bombs they carried in.

Though these small combat vessels could carry only a few Thermobaric bombs, altogether they released over a dozen, contributing significant impact and destruction.

But it only further indicates what the outer district has become to warrant such a deployment of Thermobaric bombs.

Not to mention, heavy Thermobaric bombs with greater power haven't been dropped yet from the large transport vessels.

Soon, the heavy Thermobaric bombs onboard the transport vessels were dropped, targeting a stronghold of the Evil God Sect.

This time, Perfikot made slight adjustments to this heavy Thermobaric bomb; it will no longer explode mid-air but rather initiate explosion upon penetration into buildings or underground spaces.

Perfikot wanted to test what the effect would be if such heavy Thermobaric bombs explode not in the air but in enclosed spaces within buildings.
