Chapter 877: Disconnected

Sunny and his soldiers entered the fortified settlement, happy to hide from the blizzard behind its thick walls. There, they saw teams of Awakened soldiers walking between buildings as they patrolled the territory. All of them looked tense and tired.

"I have around a hundred Awakened under my command, as well as close to a thousand mundane soldiers. There are about five hundred scientists and civilian staff members under our protection.

Sunny raised an eyebrow.

"...Were going fine?"

Verne grimaced.

He lingered for a moment, and then asked:

"How is the situation outside?"

Sunny shrugged.
