"The communicator is broken."
Lin Yu kept fiddling with the communicator in front of him, trying to press the buttons on the device to restart it.
The indicator light on the communicator indeed kept flickering after he pressed the button, but the headset built into the communicator still only emitted a low white noise.
Without a doubt, this thing is no longer functioning.
—Perhaps it hasn't really malfunctioned, but has been disabled by some force.
But of course, the result is the same.
They can no longer use this seized communicator to contact the outside world or exert any influence on those monsters.
Their situation has returned to square one—or even worse.
Because, just now, amidst the chaos they created using the communicator, several monsters of unknown rank broke through the border defenses of Mountain City and entered its interior.
