Mentioning this sandstorm, Fang Hong couldn't help but ask: "...So this communication disruption has lasted quite a while. Is it always like this in Istania?"
This communication had been disrupted for almost a month, continuing until now, which left him speechless—no wonder Istania is a border region; who could bear this?
