In a special room completely sealed by gold, Chen, the leader of the Intelligence Group of the Brain Trust, looked at the communicator on the table with a cautious expression.
This special room was designed according to some information that came from Inazuma.
Gold seemed to be able to isolate certain special and strange influences.
Outside the room, two burly men in military attire were monitoring Chen's condition through the observation window.
These were the first-order members of the "Dragon Fang," the strongest single-unit force in the Imperial Capital.
In a certain silent atmosphere, Chen, with a serious expression, used the communicator on the table to dial back the number from the signal source.
"Beep..."
"Beep.."
"Beep."
Although he had prepared himself mentally, Chen couldn't help but feel a bit nervous at this moment. After all, according to the videos previously leaked from Inazuma.
If it were truly those terrifying things, the moment the call connected, he, a living person, might be directly stuffed into the phone. The tragic scene could only be described as bizarre.
After the phone rang several times, the connected voice immediately came through. Chen, who only had zero-order strength, felt his heart skip half a beat.
But then, he still followed the rules, gritted his teeth, and waited for the other party to speak first.
The next moment, a female voice, suppressing excitement, came from the communicator:
"Fluorescent Star affiliated, 'Ice Blade' Brigade Su Xiao requests video call!" Fluorescent Star governs the military, and Su Xiao revealed her affiliation beforehand.
Hearing the energetic female voice, Chen subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice:
"Purple薇 affiliated, 'Di Ting' Group Leader Chen, agrees to the video request!" Purple薇 represents the Emperor Star, and Di Ting signifies the gathering of all words in heaven and earth.
Since nothing happened on the first ring, the probability of this mysterious phone call being problematic had greatly decreased.
However, it was still possible that intelligent anomalies were playing tricks on humans.
It was not unreasonable for Chen to be so cautious, as Su Xiao's call came from Donghai City, which was believed to have fallen, making it too bizarre.
And using video to confirm each other's information was indeed a good method.
As Chen was contemplating, the communicator's display screen flickered slightly, and a silver-haired woman with bright eyes and pearly teeth appeared on the screen.
The moment he saw the other party, Chen's heart relaxed slightly.
Although the other party seemed to be a few points more beautiful than in her file, he could indeed tell it was Su Xiao.
But the background behind Su Xiao made Chen quite concerned.
In the spacious background, he seemed to vaguely see the tip of a giant sculpture.
And some humans with good mental states were walking back and forth wearing armor that emitted strange power fluctuations.
Chen even caught a glimpse of dining tables placed on a plaza from the corner of his eye, and on these tables, new food seemed to be refreshing automatically.
In the brief glimpse, this was all the information Chen could confirm.
But even this limited information gave Chen endless room for imagination.
According to records, Donghai City was the first place where the Number One Taboo appeared, and it later suffered a nuclear explosion, completely losing contact with the outside world.
After the eastern forces were destroyed by the Number One Taboo, Donghai City, as the pearl of Great Yan, received no military support whatsoever.
The power of the Number One Taboo, which could shatter satellites with a roar, also made Great Yan's satellites dare not casually spy on this eastern land covered by snow and wind.
Therefore, in the deductions of the officials in the Imperial Capital, although cruel, the people in this area should have all died long ago!
But Su Xiao at this moment was indeed making contact from this city, which was presumed to be a dead zone.
This was why Chen had been so on guard at first. However, from the vitality he felt in the brief glimpse of the picture, Chen's vigilance had significantly decreased.
Chen, a middle-aged man, adjusted his glasses and asked with some anticipation:
"Captain Su! Where in Donghai City are you located? How many civilians are with you?"
As he said this, Chen's expression darkened.
Great Yan currently had no spare capacity to save these suffering civilians. He gave a self-deprecating smile:
"I'm very sorry, if you need support, considering the current situation with monsters rampant, it is difficult for us to dispatch any."
"However, I can send you the location of the nearest large-scale safe zone. You can take your subordinates and civilians there to seek refuge."
Yes, considering that in a few hours, Nightmare-level monsters could descend.
The Brain Trust in the Imperial Capital and everyone in the Supreme Command had already clarified one thing.
Once those Nightmare-level monsters, capable of directly shaking the army, descended, the Imperial Capital's defense perimeter would be instantly broken!
Because the troops that had previously rushed to support from various regions had already witnessed the terror of those above Lord-level in the wilderness.
Those Nightmare-level, and even above Nightmare-level beings called Calamities, each appearance was humanity's most realistic nightmare.
Therefore, after a moment of joy, all that remained in Chen's heart was guilt.
Looking at Captain Su's excited expression, she must have thought that by contacting the Imperial Capital, she would receive their help.
I'm sorry...
We can't do anything...
We can't even help you get to the nearest safe zone...
However, if the enemy truly breaks through all defenses, we will also use the ultimate weapon to destroy everything in the Imperial Capital! Those bone frames will get nothing!
While Chen was feeling guilty, he didn't notice that Su Xiao's expression showed no disappointment after hearing his words:
"Group Leader Chen, I'm not here to seek help! And Donghai City is completely gone!"
Chen was stunned. With fires raging everywhere, most incoming calls were pleas for help.
If this woman wasn't asking for help, why was she contacting the Imperial Capital at this time?
And what did she mean by Donghai City being gone? Such a large city, even with monsters rampant, couldn't just disappear, could it?
Su Xiao looked at Group Leader Chen's confused expression, pondered for a moment, and then said to him:
"Wait a moment, I'll go find the City Lord and have our City Lord talk to you!"
Chen became even more confused.
City Lord? Where did our Great Yan get a City Lord from?
What exactly happened in Donghai City?
As Chen was confused, Su Xiao grabbed the communicator in her hand and sprinted away.
With the racial value bonus, the attribute effects directly multiplied several times. Su Xiao's figure was like an illusion as she rapidly traversed the town, heading straight for the City Lord's mansion.
Meanwhile, Chen watched the screen, where strange buildings and scenery flashed by, his confusion deepening.
But the speed Su Xiao displayed during her movement made him feel even more shocked.
The captain of the "Dragon Fang," after entering the first order, would not have shown such speed.
