Chapter 95: The talk between grandfather and grandson

With the Private leading the way, they quickly arrive at X City's military district's command centre. Between the twenty-six cities' military district, there is a secret exclusive communication system linking them all together, ensuring when emergencies arise, vital information can be shared immediately amongst every base.

Back in Z City's military base, Long Zhanye had already searched the entire place for this communication line and tried to connect to A City in order to contact his grandfather and the troops under his command. However, for some reason, the line was disconnected. During that time, he thought the entire system was severed due to the apocalypse being an unforeseen event. Unexpectedly, X City is still maintaining the link with A City, laying his initial assumption to rest.

Slender fingers flying across the keyboard, he promptly enters the private military communication system. Entering his own identification number, the screen displaying the military logo changes into a progress bar.

Very swiftly, the bar reaches completion and the screen flashes again, this time showing someone on the opposite end with a dazzling smile, greeting Long Zhanye cheerfully. "Haha...Boss! You are still alive ah!"

A smirk surfaces as soon as Long Zhanye hears the astonished exclamation. It disappears as soon as it appeared, leaving behind narrowed eyes and a snarling grin. "Why? Zuo Hanyang, do you really wish me dead?"

This bastard, really disciplined him too few times. He actually has the guts to disrespect his superior this way.

"Eh! No, no!" On the other end of the line, Zuo Hanyang's face pales drastically as he realises a tad too late that he spoke wrongly. A hand clamping over his own mouth, he vigorously shakes his head in denial.

"Don't make the same mistake again. Where's my grandfather?" Regarding this Zuo Hanyang whom Long Zhanye has always feel isn't a too reliable left-hand man, the senior officer is long used to his subordinate's tactless ways.

"Oh...once the right-hand saw your identification number appear on the screen, he immediately went to inform your Commander-in-chief grandfather." Seeing his Boss is not angered by his slip of the tongue, Zuo Hanyang heaves a sigh of relief in his heart as he obediently answers Long Zhanye.

While this soldier might be a little scatter-brained and occasionally crosses the line due to his thoughtlessness, when he becomes serious, even an entire troop cannot compare to his dedication.

"Hn, the right-hand is still more reliable. There'll be rewards when I get back." Long Zhanye nods before inquiring. "What's the situation like in A City?"

Listening to Long Zhanye praising the right-hand man - right adjutant, You Nuandong - Zuo Hanyang's lips thin before he replies. "On the night of the sudden change, it was Commander-in-chief's good friend, that Elder Taoist priest grandfather, who read the stars and foretold ill fortune. Commander-in-chief made the prompt decision to take immediate action and proposed a plan, co-operating with B City's military base to establish a safe zone. At the same time, he passed down orders to the other twenty-four cities to do the same...however, many of the other bases didn't believe him, ultimately leading to their destruction overnight."

"So that's what happened. Currently, how many military bases have already been attacked? What sort of plans are the President and his Cabinet proposing?" Hearing Zuo Hanyang's concise report, Long Zhanye understands that the current situation is not too favourable.

"Boss, the...President suddenly turned into a monster that night within his private manor. In that entire building, there is not one living human left. As for the Vice-President, three days before that night, they left for YG[1] as an ambassador. Currently, we still do not know if they are dead or alive. This special line linking the military bases only work within this country. It cannot be used to contact our bases in foreign nations. It is as though there's a jammer blocking off all foreign signals. As a result, we don't know if only our country has fallen to this state or if other countries are experiencing similar circumstances. For now, the Commander-in-chief is shouldering full responsibility for the entire military from A City's base...so far, eight cities have been breached by those monsters: F, G, H, L, N, Q, T, Z. We have also lost contact with another five: J, K, P, S, W."
