The sudden news had everyone shocked.
Bruce, on the other hand, stood up abruptly.
“What happened?” Bruce demanded in a loud voice.
“Mr. Johnston, we just lost the signal from the No.18 monitoring station,” someone in the control room informed the news.
“What? Someone get back to me what’s happening!”
At that moment, Bruce instantly had a bad premonition.
“No! We lost signal from the No.19 monitoring station too!”
“No.20 monitoring station’s signal is gone!”
“We have just lost No.17 too!”
“No.16 is gone!”
“No.15 and No.14 are gone too!”
The next second, multiple alarms in the control room started blazing.
The signals from all thirty monitoring stations set up by Bruce disappeared one by one.
Wham!
The disappearance of the signals was like a series of bombs hitting Bruce and the others in the face, making them breathless.
Luckily everyone was mentally strong. If their minds were weak, there was no doubt that they would probably faint from the shock.
“No! Something’s wrong! The 78 drones we sent are all destroyed!”
“We have lost the signals from the underwater drones in the sea as well!”
“This is not good! All of our machines are acting strangely! Something is wrong with them! Raise the alarm! Raise the alarm!”
No one had ever thought that this was merely the beginning.
The failure of the machines wasn’t the only issue. Countless problems were coming at them one by one.
“Oh no! We have lost contact with the entire Team One of our ambush teams.”
“Team Two is gone too!”
“We lost contact with Team Three too!”
Bruce had arranged a total of eighteen Super Battle Squads around the coastal and the nearby small islands to ambush whoever tried to steal the sunstone, but now all the squads were gone.
“We didn’t just lose contact with them. We lost the signal from the chips inside of them too. It would only mean that they’re dead. None of them survive!”
Before anyone could digest the last piece of news, another bad news came hitting on their faces.
Does this mean that all of the ambush teams are dead? They are the core of our combat forces arranged by Bruce! How could they all perish? This piece of news is too much for us to digest! What kind of person is strong enough to eliminate them all? The squads are the best of their kind!
No one could wrap their heads around what had happened.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, Bruce saw explosions flashed across the monitor screen.
The explosions originated from the seven islands that surrounded the shipping route.
Those islands contained the airports and training bases which were all arranged by Bruce as backups. The backup teams would be able to assist within minutes if attacks happened, as accordance to the arrangement.
However, all the seven islands were destroyed now.
“Mr. Johnston, our backup teams and the island training bases are gone! A few of the islands had sunk as well! Everything’s gone!”
Bruce grew quiet, as did everyone else in the control room.
All were dumbfounded by the bad news that kept coming one by one. None of them knew how to react accordingly.
“No! We’ve lost contact with Ship One!”
“Same for Ship Two!”
“Ship Three is gone too!”
Now, one by one, before anyone could even process what had happened previously, they lost contact with the transportation teams.
“We’ve lost the signal of the escort teams’ chips too! They are all dead!”
“I repeat! We lost contact with everyone! The entire escort team is gone!”
Until now, they had lost contact with the transportation teams that carried the sunstones, not to mention that the escort teams were dead, and the ambush teams and the monitoring stations were all gone too.
Everyone was caught off guard as none of them expected such a turn of events in the slightest.
“We’ve just got the latest news! The sunstones are missing! The GPS trackers on the sunstones are deactivated!”
Before transporting the sunstones, Bruce had placed GPS trackers on the sunstones as an extra precaution.
Unfortunately, the effort didn’t pay off. It seemed that the sunstones had been robbed, and they had destroyed the GPS trackers.
The news was shocking to everyone.
Bruce, on the other hand, was mortified.
