Chapter 672 Remote Call
"Oh? So the radar system on Brother Qingyu's side is finished?"
Han Shuo chuckled and muttered to himself.
However, his smile vanished as he watched the red indicator light flashing on the communication device, replaced by a growing sense of tension.
Because he was afraid that he would hear some bad news next.
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, he pressed the call button.
...
"Sizzle, sizzle..."
After a few bursts of mixed human voices and static, the familiar voice of Han Shuo finally came through the speaker.
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
"Can you hear me? Is anyone on the other side?"
"..."
The same words were repeated twice more, and Han Shuo smiled, his tense emotions gradually calming down.
Because of these voices, who else could it be but Qingyu?
Furthermore, he didn't detect any anxiety in his tone; instead, there was a hint of excitement.
This means that at this moment, Ice City should be safe and sound!
...
After pressing the talk button, Han Shuo responded lazily with a yawn.
"Hey bro, what are you doing?"
After the sound faded, there was a two-second silence, and a response quickly came from the other end of the communication device.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"You finally replied, kid. Why were you so slow? I thought something had happened to you guys."
After hearing this, Han Shuo replied helplessly.
"We're so strong, what kind of accident could happen... Brother Qingyu, there's a huge time difference between our two places, okay?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the time: "It's two in the morning here, I was sleeping, and you woke me up."
"Hehe, hehe..."
On the other end of the distance, Qingyu chuckled awkwardly twice and replied with a hint of apology.
"Uh...sorry, I forgot about that. It's all blue sky and white clouds here right now. I just finished lunch and was bored when I suddenly remembered you."
"So, the radar system in Harbin was set up this morning. Does this long-distance communication remind you of the days when cell phones still worked?"
"Yes, apart from a bit of static, it's fine."
...
After a brief reminiscing, Han Shuo changed the subject to business.
"By the way, Brother Qingyu, is everything alright in Ice City? Any new news from the Zombie King?"
"All good, all good. Let me tell you, not long ago I had a lot of large machines brought over, and it just so happens that Hank's experienced workers know how to use them."
"These master craftsmen are forging weapons every day now. I'm afraid it won't be long before all our combat personnel here will be able to use better new weapons."
When talking about this, Qingyu was clearly very excited, and kept telling Han Shuo about it.
"Furthermore, many tasks have been gradually improved since you left."
"Some are raising livestock, some are building the city, some are training troops, some are rescuing people... In short, Harbin is now a prosperous city, and you will see it all when you come back!"
He paused for a moment, then gradually adopted a serious tone.
"Um……"
"As for the Zombie King, there is still no news."
"None of the guards I sent to distant locations detected any indication that he was coming."
Han Shuo frowned after hearing these words.
He felt as if the zombie king had disappeared during this period.
Several months have passed since the last standoff between the two sides.
Logically, the Zombie King should have taken action long ago, so why didn't Qingyu's subordinates who were sent out to investigate have any information at all?
After thinking for a moment, he spoke.
"Brother, I've arrived at the headquarters of the bio-engineered humans. They also have some remote reconnaissance capabilities here."
"Tomorrow, I'll take some time to ask them if they have any more information about the Zombie King."
...
"Oh! You've arrived? When did you arrive?" Qingyu asked, sounding somewhat surprised.
After all, the country that Han Shuo and his two companions went to was extremely vast, and finding a mysterious base in such a country was no easy task.
"Just arrived today."
Han Shuo gave a brief reply, and then described to his older brother what had happened to the three of them over the past few days.
Of course, he kept it brief and did not mention some of the dangerous scenarios.
After hearing his story, Qingyu felt much more at ease.
He didn't ask for further details, but then he remembered something else.
"By the way, now we can communicate anytime. I'll send someone to call your friends."
"It's been so long since we last met, I bet you two have a lot to talk about."
As soon as the words were spoken, Han Shuo quickly spoke up to stop him.
"No, brother, don't call them."
He knew that once Li Shurou and her group were called over by Qingyu, they would definitely want to talk to Fatty.
He didn't want his friends, who were on the other side of the ocean, to worry about them. He couldn't let Li Shurou know about Fatty's injury.
...
Helpless, Han Shuo could only tell Qing Yu about the great battle that had taken place the previous day.
After listening, Qingyu remained silent for a while before speaking.
"Okay, I got it. I'll give my regards to Xiao Zhao and the others later."
"But these cyborgs really go to extremes. If things get too bad, you'd better come back quickly!"
Throughout the entire process, he never mentioned the issue of forming an alliance with the cyborg forces.
This matter was certainly important to Qingyu, but based on Han Shuo's description, he felt that these cyborgs were also an unstable factor.
To be honest, he didn't want to give up on this allied force that possessed powerful weapons, but this time, he still prioritized the safety of Han Shuo and the other two.
Stationed right under the noses of the cyborgs, he feared they might continue to take some extreme actions.
Han Shuo and Feng were the key to the great battle that followed!
...
At the same time, Han Shuo also felt the care in his older brother's heart.
He replied with a smile, "Don't worry, brother, I know what I'm doing."
"The reason why the white-haired group started attacking us was due to a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, they have also changed some of their attitudes toward humans."
"Besides... in our current state, we are not afraid of them."
After hearing this, Qingyu smiled helplessly from afar.
"That's true!"
With two exceptionally powerful individuals in the three-person team, there was absolutely nothing he needed to worry about...
...
The two brothers chatted for a while longer before hanging up the call.
Han Shuo lay back down on the bed, staring at the ceiling above him, his mind racing.
He decided not to deliver Qingyu's letter to Baifa for the time being.
Now that the two sides have just had a fight, it's a sensitive time, and they're not very familiar with each other yet. Bringing up this matter with the other side too early could easily end in failure.
He was prepared to wait... to wait for the day when the four silver-haired siblings would be brought back to life.
With this intermediary bridge in place, the chances of successfully persuading the white-haired person will be much higher.
