Chapter 204 - Control blast
In the distant city S. inside the shin residence.
Shinju pranced around anxiously.
The overhead fan buzzed. The digital clock on the wall ticked closer to the final hours. Shinju’s fingers trembled as he gripped the edge of the desk. The call he’d just ended echoed in his ears.
"They’ve confirmed the strike," he whispered to himself, his voice hollow.
He had pleaded with them. Called every contact in every military sector. Begged them to wait—just a few more hours. His father was still in there. His son.
"They said it’s about the GDP," he muttered, the bitter taste of disgust rising in his throat. "About the country’s image..."
The attack on country C was unexpected but the country did not want any other countries to know about this. Any news about the infection was said as a rumor and buried up. the affected cities all had their network cut off with an emp attack. Yes it was the country that decided to attack these cities. They somehow got all info under wrap now all they had to do was destroy the evidence.
That’s where the bombing comes into picture.
All this because the country did not want its GDP to be affected. If the whole world knew that they had such a infection. Then their exports will be affected, tourism will be non existent. Their country will be hit badly.
So they collectively decided to hide this.
He slammed the phone against the desk. Hard. Once. Twice. It cracked and clattered to the ground in pieces. Shinju dropped his head into his hands, fingers clawing into his scalp as he let out a shaky breath.
