Chapter 1469: Contact

Contact

Hearing this, the boss's eyebrows raised slightly.

Gulp——

The big black dog at the side let go of the glass in its mouth, licked its lips contentedly, and barked at the boss, as if thanking him for his hospitality.

"Alright, the wine is finished, you should go." The boss spoke slowly,

"Recently, the Human Domains have been requisitioning manpower everywhere to expand the infrastructure teams and rebuild the domains. Some places have even started to forcibly conscript people... Be careful when you move around. Don't swagger on the roads, it's very dangerous."

"Got it, got it." The red-haired girl didn't care. She waved her hand at the boss,

"If there's any news from the Red King's side, remind me in time~"

"Okay."

In the dim twilight, the boss slowly withdrew his gaze, and a profound look emerged in his eyes...

He raised his fingertips and gently tore at his cheek.

A piece of facial skin silently dissipated in the air.

"This girl is quite sincere." In the dark corner of the tavern, a young girl wearing a black dress walked out silently.

The red-based, black-patterned Theatrical Robe fluttered lightly in the darkness. Chen Ling's fingertips gently pinched a translucent wine glass. In the next second, that wine glass transformed into a thin Playing Card...

[Heart 10].

"In our Dusk Society, this kind of personality is indeed rare now." Chen Ling spoke calmly, "But compared to Red Heart 10, Spade 10 is somewhat more interesting... It seems, it discovered me."

"It? It could actually discover you?"

"The intuition of Calamities is always unimaginably sensitive." Chen Ling glanced at the wine glass that had been licked spotlessly clean at the side, his expression somewhat helpless,

"Or perhaps... the wine I mixed tasted too awful and was noticed by it."

Chen Ling pulled out another [Spade 10] from nowhere, stacked it together with the original [Heart 10], and mixed it into the many Playing Cards in his other hand.

He walked straight to the bar's Warehouse and opened the door. The real tavern "boss" who was knocked unconscious, that is, the contact person of the Dusk Society, was lying quietly on the table at this moment.

Chen Ling raised his fingertips lightly. The Heart Python that had stolen the other party's memories crawled back onto the boss, bit his head, and returned the memories...

"Let's go." Chen Ling spoke calmly.

"The number cards have all been contacted secretly. Next, are we going to contact the letter cards?" Liu Qingyan followed behind.

"No need." Chen Ling shook his head. "J and Q are not ordinary folks. If they discover us on the spot, it would have the opposite effect..."

"Then..."

"Perhaps, we should change our method."

Chen Ling walked to the bar and picked up that newspaper left behind by Red Heart 10. He looked at the report page publishing his slaying of the Thought Calamity, deep in thought.

"Interesting..."

...

"——Woof!"

On the streets of the Tianshu Domain, the red-haired girl was startled by the sudden dog bark beside her. She slapped Spade 10 and spoke angrily:

"Everything is fine, what are you barking for!"

The big black dog stuck out its tongue, panting heavily. The corners of its mouth were pulled back, as if smiling.

"Silly dog!"

"Woof!"

"Still barking!"

"Woof!!"

The red-haired girl couldn't be bothered with it. She was just about to say something when suddenly, as if sensing something, she directly pulled Spade 10 and slipped into the Alleyway next to them.

A few seconds later, several figures hurried past.

"How is it?"

"It's all been verified. In the survivors of these two blocks, there are indeed no able-bodied young adults left... The Spirit Void Domain's three rounds of conscription have already transferred away most of those capable of working."

"I don't understand, the Spirit Void Domain wasn't fought in at all, nor does it need reconstruction. What does he need so much manpower for?"

"Don't know... it seems they are building something."

"But our own reconstruction teams don't even have enough manpower! He transferred away our able-bodied young adults, who will rebuild our homeland? Isn't this going too far!"

"At the current speed, reconstructing the Tianshu Domain will probably take twenty years..."

"Ah, say less, let's go back and report this truthfully to the Lord of the Red Dust."

"Fine..."

After these people left, Red Heart 10 cautiously poked her head out from the corner of the wall.

She blinked, a hint of confusion emerging in her eyes.

...

"There's no one left?"

Su Zhiwei looked at the reporting staff member in astonishment.

"Yeah..." The staff member spoke bitterly, "We formed our own reconstruction engineering teams and conscripted a round, then the Spirit Void Domain side conscripted another two rounds... Now there are only women, old people, and children left in the city. It's simply impossible for us to form another reconstruction team."

Su Zhiwei frowned slightly, falling into deep thought.

"Lord of the Red Dust, even if our Tianshu Domain has a large population, we can't withstand the Spirit Void Domain snatching people like this, right? Those survivors were all protected by Mr. Han with his life, this..."

These past few days of conscription had filled the government staff member's stomach with bitter grievances. But before he could start pouring them out, Su Zhiwei waved her hand:

"I'll go discuss this matter with the Lord of Spirit Void... How is the situation with the Plague?"

Mentioning the word Plague, the staff member's expression immediately became solemn:

"Very bad... The Paper Kite Rescue Association has carefully investigated the source of this Plague, but they can't find it at all... It's not a disease spread by Calamities, nor spread by humans. We suspect that the appearance of these diseases might be related to... to the Red Star."

"Can it be controlled?"

"...Very difficult. Currently, it's not just one virus prevailing in the domain. According to incomplete statistics, there are already twelve types... Even among those of the Path of the Physician in the Paper Kite Rescue Association, some have fallen ill."

"Even they can't cure it?"

"Not all of the Path of the Physician are good at dealing with viruses. Only a small portion of them have the ability to cure viruses... And this small portion needs a massive amount of time to research in the face of so many complex and diverse viruses."

"...I understand."

Su Zhiwei waved her hand to let the staff member go back first. Only after the other party left did her expression become heavy.

She immediately walked out of this temporary office and headed towards the ruins of the Tower to Heaven not far away. Although the surface part of the Tower to Heaven was completely destroyed, the Tianshu Base below had not suffered too much damage.

She passed through corridors and finally arrived at a small room.

This was the radio wave room of the Tianshu Base. All along, the Tianshu Domain had relied on the radio waves here to transmit messages with other domains.

At this moment, several staff members inside saw Su Zhiwei coming and stood up one after another:

"Lord of the Red Dust, what are your instructions?"

Su Zhiwei spoke without hesitation:

"Connect me to the Lord of Spirit Void."
