Chapter 1135

Information transmission in progress! Satellite system begins to restart!

As an inaudible beeping sound rang out, tens of thousands of Starlink satellites in space began to synchronize their signals.

Inside the satellite launch base, countless survivors on the ground instinctively lifted their heads, many with tears in their eyes, moved by this great moment.

At this moment, Deng Xiang was struggling to adapt to the images being fed back from the other half of his brain.

Dozens of high-definition satellite images threatened to burst his mind; in his vision, the right half of his field of view seemed to simultaneously activate forty thousand monitoring grids, constantly refreshing with images of the ground.

"Can you see Long An?!"

"Can you see us?!"

Excited researchers crowded around him, eagerly asking about the past.

A few minutes later, the stiff, machine-like Deng Xiang spoke hoarsely, his face showing an expression of disbelief.

"I... see... it..."

"I saw it!"

As his words fell, relying on the drawing-type skill Chu An had found for him, he seemed like a printer, his hands flying across the huge sheet of paper to draw the most detailed map.

Rivers, mountains, black spots, gathering places...

However, within just half a minute, a high-definition map resembling a printed sheet appeared before everyone's eyes. Many Awakened Ones familiar with the terrain looked at it, and their expressions shifted.

"It's Long An! One large and one small satellite city! There are mountains behind it! This is Long An!"

It was too shocking.

The crowd gathered around Deng Xiang, carefully examining this map. This was likely the first time since the apocalypse that humanity had seen its homeland from space.

"Huh? Why is there a large cluster of black spots beside our base, all surrounding the suburbs of Hope River City..."

"Holy crap, could it be a zombie tide?! Quick, let them know!"

"Over there it looks like a convoy; I see a line of dots!"

Lin An, who had returned to the ground, heard the sound and looked over, suddenly indeed seeing a not-too-large black spot near Long An, extremely conspicuous on the map.

But it's alright; the zombie tide doesn't seem too large, apparently drawn by a group of fleeing Awakened Ones.

His face hardened, and Jing Tian, who had come along, seeing this, quickly notified Long An to immediately dispatch troops to eliminate it.

No one expected that, upon first going up to the satellite, the very first thing discovered was a zombie tide approaching near his home.

"Satellites are really useful! Normally, reconnaissance can't detect anything, and it's very dangerous. If something really happens, you wouldn't even notice where the problem lies."

"Yeah, from up high you can see where the zombie tides are and where there might be mutants—it's crystal clear."

Amid the excited discussion, everyone felt deeply moved.

With this, what do they have to fear from zombie tides? From hundreds of kilometers away they can lure the tide away, and even more luxuriously, they can monitor it in real time, moving alongside the tide without issue.

Amid the chatter, many researchers, as if they had gotten their favorite toy, repeatedly urged Deng Xiang to look at other places.

"Look at our surrounding war zone!"

"Look at South Korea and Japan! I've long wanted to know how they're doing!"

As one researcher excitedly chimed in, the others quickly agreed.

A few minutes later, a satellite flying over the Korean War Zone in low Earth orbit captured images, which were transmitted in real time to Deng Xiang's brain.

After the copy-produced drawing was completed, everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"What place is this? It looks as if it's been bombed."

"What about the city center? Why are there still a few large black spots? What are those?"

Faced with the questions, Deng Xiang, while adapting to the influx of information, hesitantly opened his mouth:

"This place... should be Fushan."

"The satellite I used just happened to fly over Fushan's airspace..."

Upon hearing this, many Awakened Ones who knew that Lin An had once bombed Fushan suddenly had strange looks on their faces.

No wonder most of the city center appears ruined—it turns out to be Fushan.

I heard that Lord Lin An, in order to retaliate against that place, set off two large fireworks in one go.

But just looking at the edge of the map, the black spots in the suburbs near the coastline made everyone curious for a moment.

"How much can we zoom in?"

Standing to the side, Lin An also became interested. As if thinking of something, he directly had Deng Xiang draw an enlarged view.

Having received the order, Deng Xiang, as if controlling a satellite zoom lens, only after a few minutes drew a completely new picture, which was exactly the enlarged view of the black spot.

"What is this?!"

Watching Deng Xiang continually draw these strange creatures, everyone's faces suddenly jumped in shock.

There was a huge, smooth‑skinned rat‑like beast, its entire body covered in white tentacles like jellyfish—hard to describe the monster's appearance. From above, the image looked like a mouse propped up by massive limbs, moving about like an octopus spider.

Moreover, atop the monster's head seemed to lie a human female!

"What kind of mutant is this?! It looks like it's fifty to sixty meters tall!"

"A fusion of sea beast and rat? Why would there be a human on top of it!"

The crowd was shocked, spreading disbelief.

Compared to the ruined buildings beside it in the image, the monster's massive size is like a stadium—at least third rank or higher!

"Could this be a pet? No way—looking at it, it's clearly a mutant."

In the midst of the astonished discussion, Lin An's eyes flashed with surprise.

Fushan... mouse... girl...

Thanks to his powerful memory, he almost instantly recognized the silhouette on the monster's head. Although he couldn't see the face, it was a bit blurry, but he still remembered that outfit.

Busan.. mouse.. girl..

Thanks to his strong memory, he almost instantly recognized the figure on top of the monster's head. Although he couldn't see the face, it was somewhat blurry. But he still remembered that outfit.

Is it her? Such a coincidence?

Looking at something that matches what was left in my memory.

Lin An never imagined that the little trinket he casually left behind would turn out like this.

What a tenacious vitality...

His complexion looked a little strange; Lin An fell silent for a moment and didn't say anything.

As expected, this rat-like monster is the small mouse I once controlled; probably after letting the mouse carry that special heart, the mouse mutated. And that girl also fused with the heart, stubbornly surviving?

I just don't know what form they've turned into.

Instinctively gazing toward the Fushan War Zone, a scene flashed unbidden in Lin An's mind.

That night, Li Enzhu, clutching her clothes, mustered the courage to knock on his door.

Lin An had a decent impression of the girl who would do anything to stay alive.

Fushan War Zone, a city in ruins.

"Thud... thud... thud..."

Heavy footsteps.

On the broad back of a giant rat, a girl with pale skin rode expressionlessly.

As if sensing something, she instinctively looked up at the starry sky, clutching a yellowed slip of paper in her hand.

A few seconds later, she lowered her head somewhat dazedly, continuing to drive the giant rat forward like a walking corpse.

Under the starry sky.

One red eye half-hidden by her bangs, the other normal eye gazing at her palm.

She instinctively unfolded the paper, and on the crumpled sheet was a line of neat small writing.

Survive..

-------------Lin An.
