Chapter 186 A Way To Have The Communication System
Chapter 186 A Way To Have The Communication System
[Do you know where that human girl is right now?]
The first thing I did was to ask Wryly. Compared to Fang, that dude was more reliable in knowing about that girl’s location.
After all, his paragon was very interested in her right now.
[So far she is running towards us but dunno where she is right now]
I frowned. Even that dude didn’t know her exact location.
[So she is coming here?]
[Yes]
[How can you tell if you don’t know her location then?]
[That dragon archlord is spreading his forces in a fan shaped net around this direction] he sent and I realised what he was meaning.
[Alright, keep me posted. I need to meet up with her]
[First my paragon then you]
[Dude, I have to know her location so if she needs my help I can move fast and help]
It seemed that the dude’s paragon was dead focused on that girl. He even ordered him to not tell me about her location.
What? Did he fear me or what? I wasn’t a womaniser, dude!
[Will try, but can’t promise you this except if something bad happens to her]
I rolled up my eyes. Damn! At times like these, not having a fixed communication tool with the entire human race was something annoying.
[Alright] I didn’t have anything else to say here. After I closed the chat with him, I instantly sent it to someone else.
[Do you have something that helps in establishing a communication network? A private one that can’t be spied upon?]
[Sure, how many people do you plan to share this with? We can cover up to ten thousand personnel in a single network]
The answer coming from the Lady nymph was swift and disappointing. Ten thousand? That wasn’t even close to one tenth of the number I had in mind.
I didn’t directly answer her. Instead I tried to recall any mention of the number of the human race survivors at this point of the apocalypse.
I knew when the apocalypse came, humans were almost close to ten billion people. But I didn’t know how many humans survived this time of the apocalypse.
“Do you know how many people might have survived this far?” I turned to ask my team. At this point, I needed more minds to work on this.
“Why?” the jumper asked but the others thought for few seconds before saying:
“Perhaps one billion?” It was the answer from Sara. the spearhead shook his head as he said:
“I won’t bet on that.”
“Why? Do you believe more have survived?” Sara turned aggressively towards him and he simply shrugged.
“I doubt even half that number survived,” he looked up to the sky, took a deep breath like he was a wise man or something, before adding, “I believe one hundred million is the right number.”
“No way!” Angelica jumped in, “I agree with Sara. Humans aren’t that bad or weak!”
“One billion is just an outrageous guess!” Alex joined the fight while Leo took the side of Sara as he said:
“I believe one billion is a reasonable number.”
I watched them argue in between themselves like idiots. Come on! None of you had a way to prove or even closely guess the right answer guys!
I looked at the jumper and he simply shrugged, removing his hand out of the dirty waters.
[I’m looking for something to cover much larger number than ten thousand] I sent to the Lady before adding, [I might need something to cover up hundreds of millions of people]
[An entire race?!!] she seemed to guess what I had in mind, [Sorry but something like that won’t be available even to bigger impacts]
[Then…]
[There is one way to find something like that… You need to ask the help of a god]
[God? I don’t have a supporting god yet]
[Not any god] she sent before adding after few minutes of pause that forced me to listen to more bullshit from others around, [A high grade god, and he must have the help of his pantheon in this]
[The entire pantheon?!!!] I was shocked when she sent her last message over.
[Either this way or you need to find a way to get in contact with the system creators] she sent before adding, [But that might be impossible! No one can easily get in touch with those people, especially at such early stage of the apocalypse]
I frowned while thinking about something else. I had a helping hand from one of the system creators in my cultivation.
Wouldn’t that mean I got a way to speak to one of those mighty guys? Wow! I never expected delaying my cultivation all this time would bring me such a rare opportunity.
[Thanks] I sent to her before asking again, [What about our deal from before?]
[We agreed upon a time line, right? There are still few days remaining in our deal]
[I was just checking] I helplessly smiled. This girl was taking the deals between us too seriously.
[Rest assured. I found a way to bring you many races as promised. Yet this might bring you some trouble so I have to warn you again]
I knew she was referring to the leaders of those races’ wrath. I didn’t bother about a bunch of murderers and slave traders anger. They messed up with my people, so it was just right to mess up with them.
[I won’t change my mind] I sent my firm answer over.
[Sigh! Alright human race Hye. You are indeed one of the craziest humans I ever dealt with]
[You dealt with humans before?]
[Hello?]
[Are you there?]
[Come on! You just said something and won’t even explain it!!]
After she said this by mistake, she didn’t respond to me at all. It seemed there was something preventing her from telling me more.
But her words and from what I noticed and learnt about earlier, I knew for sure now there were many humans living in other worlds.
She once told me this before. But strangely she seemed to not want to tell me about the secrets of her trade.
Anyway I got what I wanted and closed the chat with her before turning to my team.
“Let everyone march out now,” I said and added before anyone would interrupt, “let the armies of yours guard the others. Also if they meet up with monsters or hostile races, let those without much battle experience deal with the situation first.”
“There is no point in teaching a farmer how to become a warrior!” the jumper found a chance at last to throw one of his mean comments as usual.
“If so then give up your big army,” I rolled my eyes towards him, “as most of them are made out of farmers, bakers, and even street workers!”
“Not a chance!” he harrumphed and I snorted back. That dude was just a hypocrite! He didn’t want others to have more forces but when it came to him he wouldn’t even hesitate to accept a fly to join his side!
F*cking cheap hypocrite!
“Let’s go,” as I settled everything here, I started flying the chariot once again. My mind was now fixated only upon the upcoming cultivation session.
I didn’t only want to solve the problem of my cultivation using the bone from the dark realm monster, but also I needed to speak up with that system creator about the communication system.
It was just unfair! How other races had such an advantage and we wouldn’t! They could easily get in touch with each other even if they were thousands of miles apart!
Intelligence and communication were both the sharp edge of any civilisation and race. Losing such an advantage meant we were just fighting in the apocalypse blind, divided up and only acting as a response and not aggressively like other races.
That was unfair! And I had to change that. I must!
But would that dude be tolerant of my request? In fact I didn’t believe he would disagree. Yet he would ask for a price in return.
I didn’t have anything worthy to pay to such a dude. So he would ask for a really tough quest as a payment.
What would he ask me to do? I thought about that and couldn’t find anything such a dude would be interested in.
He was, after all, one of those mysterious beings who created and ran the system and apocalypse in the entire universe! What possible such a dude would ask from me then in return?
Absolutely nothing!
I took a deep breath and at this moment, Karoline came up from downstairs.
Her appearance helped in distracting my worried thoughts. “Finally our princess appeared,” the jumper threw one of his smug comments and got a glaring and warning gaze from me in return.
“Humph, at least tell us what we are going to do at north!” he harrumphed and said this while others looked at me, ignoring the incoming Karoline except for Angelica.
That girl literally abducted my girl, and seemed to interrogate her about something. From the red and shy look over Karoline’s face, I could swear that girl was speaking about things that happened between the two of us!
She was helpless! Didn’t she have a girl already? Why try to pry on other people’s private lives?
“Yes, tell us boss, tell us please,” Leo seemed to place high expectations over our next adventure.
I wanted to tell them, tell them about my grand plans for the future. How I planned to turn the human useless arsenal into something deadly in this apocalypse.
But I knew we weren’t alone. Those angels were always eavesdropping on anything I say or do.
“After we arrive up there, we will attack Albany city first,” I said before motioning to the map on the ground, “after that you’ll all disperse, lead your respective armies and start hitting cities, towns, and even small villages all over the East.”
“Simply like that?” Sara asked in doubt, and she wasn’t the only one having the same look at me.
“Yes, what else are we going to do there?” I shrugged but my act failed to convince even Leo.
“I bet you hide something else in that dirty mind of yours!” the jumper pointed at my forehead and I snorted.
“My mind is as clean as a white sheet!”
“Humph, I bet it’s darker than a black oil coming from earth!”
“Screw you!”
“Do you want to die?”
“Pathetic!”
“Dirty mind fellow!”
“Masked rude fellow!”
The two of us glared at each other for a few seconds before others broke up in laughter.
“Alright big boys, let’s let things go at this point,” Angelica said while having such an annoying smile of victory over her face.
Coupled with all the red over Karoline, I knew that girl heard more than what she desired!
“We need to know the general plan so we can prepare in advance,” the jumper said in an arrogant tone before giving me a side glance, “something as basic as this should be known to any low levelled leader.”
“I know what I am doing,” I said this and put an end to this useless discussion, “once we arrive at Albany, you’ll take your armies and head east. Take everything in your face and try to add more to your armies.”
“Speaking of which,” Angelica’s eyes shone when I said this, “can’t we have more troops then? Your army is considered bigger! Even bigger than that cold hearted dude.”
“Who is the cold hearted one, lustful girl?” The jumper’s answer was rude as always. But this time he came up against such a shameless girl.
Angelica crossed up her arms, looked in defiance towards him while having no issue at all to say this:
“At least I know the desires of my body and fulfil them. Not like someone who is as shy as a virgin girl on her first night, covering up his face with a mask.”
“Do you want to die?” He said his typical phrase that never failed to drive a smile over my face and brought laughter from everyone else.
