"I will return within an hour."
"Bring the leaders responsible for City A's defenses. We also need Professor Tang, Professor Wu, and Professor Song."
"I understand."
Before ending the call, Ye Xuan added, "Send an urgent warning to the three bases scheduled to be attacked first."
"What reason should I give?"
"Say a military reconnaissance team discovered a large zombie movement along the routes leading toward them."
Commander Shen understood why he didn't want to reveal the maps.
They didn't know how many human settlements had been infiltrated. If word spread that City S had fallen and the attack plan had been discovered, the Zombie King might change its strategy before they could prepare.
"I'll handle it."
The call ended.
Chu Miao took out the twenty-seven crystal cores containing black lines and placed them on the table.
The jade box holding the death-energy stone remained sealed.
