SPLASH!!
The river surged, its waves churning.
The Red River, several hundred meters wide, flowed southeast for nearly a thousand kilometers, crossing mountains, forests, and plains, passing several Wilderness Shelter Cities and Alliance cities along the way.
Traces of human activity could be seen on both banks, as well as certain wilderness Mutant Beasts drinking at the water's edge.
Occasionally, an aquatic Mutant Beast would startle, sending up a spray of water and creating ripples.
But more common were the countless freighters and ferries traveling along the waterway, like a thousand sails passing by.
In the New Era, the Alliance Country had long since conducted multiple sweeps of the wilderness lands and waterways within its territory. Travel and shipping within the Alliance City Circle were far safer than they had been during the doomsday wasteland period.
Though Mutant Beasts still appeared occasionally, they were no longer a rampant threat.
