For the last four days, reports had arrived from every side of the containment line. Northern formations pushed out from Cinderrow.
The eastern sectors joined through Aldermere, while western companies worked around Kingswell and the southern formations finally closed the remaining gap through Rushfield.
When the last section connected with the southern line, a long-awaited report reached Hans early that morning.
Grefort's Core was fully surrounded within the deployed PCV network.
He was already halfway to Cinderrow when Kimmy spoke from the seat beside him.
"So what happens now?"
Hans looked away from the Armored SUV's window.
"Now? We're about to find out."
The road toward Cinderrow had changed considerably since his last visit. New checkpoints occupied several intersections, while Walls and fixed positions closed routes that once remained open toward the Core.
Farther ahead, another military column crossed the junction before disappearing between the buildings.
