Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 916: Do You Know What’s Going On?

Yang Shu sat under a tree on the highest terrain of Kidd Island. For some reason, he always felt extremely uneasy, a sensation that agitated him deeply and made him feel utterly uncomfortable. Eventually, he couldn’t sit still any longer. He stood up and walked to the edge of the cliff.

"Boss, have the control network been established?" Yang Shu asked first. He had tasked Boss with setting up this command and control network. As long as there was an issue with any point in the network, it would be immediately apparent on his end, ensuring the security of the island.

"Boss, it’s all set up, and everything is extremely normal." Boss glanced at the military computer in front of him, which displayed the locations of all the Dark Demons. None of them had moved, indicating that they were all well ambushed. If there was any problem, it would definitely trigger an alarm here. There had been no reaction so far, which could only mean that everything was extremely normal—this was indisputable.

"Boss, check where the submarine is," Yang Shu instructed, somewhat relieved by Boss’s affirmative response. He hoped that his previous feeling of unease was just an illusion. Feeling reassured, he looked at his watch, estimated the time, and figured the submarine should have arrived by then, so he directly ordered Boss to contact the submarine and check its position, preparing to leave the island.

"Okay, Boss." Hearing Yang Shu’s instructions, Boss immediately obeyed and began to contact the submarine. However, he never anticipated that the submarine would lose contact. This was totally unexpected—submarines were equipped with satellite communications equipment; they couldn’t just lose contact. What on earth was going on?

Thinking it might be a glitch, Boss hurriedly tuned the frequency and tried to connect with the submarine’s backup radio, but, to his further surprise, he couldn’t get through on the backup system either. Despite his efforts, he could no longer make contact with the submarine, which shocked him entirely; he couldn’t comprehend what had happened to sever their communications. Submarines were supposed to be safe at sea, essentially invulnerable. What on earth had happened to the submarine...

Unconsciously, sweat began to bead on Boss’s forehead.

"Boss, what’s wrong? What happened?" Seeing Boss’s distressed expression, Yang Shu asked urgently. He wanted to know what exactly was going on. Why had Boss’s demeanor changed so drastically? Could something serious have happened?

"Boss... Boss, I don’t know why, but we cannot contact the submarine. Not only is the satellite communication system unresponsive, but the backup radio isn’t working either. This is highly abnormal. I have no idea what could have happened. Look..."

Sweat dripped down Boss’s forehead. He was truly nervous now and clueless about what had happened to the submarine. He was afraid Yang Shu would take his anger out on him, but he was even more scared of another possibility—that the rescue submarine had been intercepted by the enemy unnoticed. If that was the case, their situation would be disastrously bad. If things had indeed reached that point, then they—without even needing an enemy intervention—might just perish here from confinement...

"What! How can that be!"

Hearing Boss’s report, Yang Shu was instantly shocked. He finally understood why he had felt so uneasy—the submarine had met with an accident. This news was awfully bad; no one knew what had happened to the submarine. It had just mysteriously vanished. What were they to do? They were supposed to leave the island by submarine. Without it, how could they possibly leave?

At that moment, Yang Shu was stunned again as he realized what Boss had considered—that the submarine might have been intercepted. If that were true, they wouldn’t be able to leave the island at all, which was not a good sign!

"Boss, quickly get in touch with our people and check the situation!"

Now, Yang Shu felt increasingly uneasy; the circumstances were bizarrely abnormal. He had to consider the possibilities. If the enemy had intercepted their submarine, that meant Shen Tian and his group might already know their current whereabouts. It was entirely plausible that Shen Tian had already sent someone to rescue them on the island.

The thought that the enemy might have already landed on the island made Yang Shu feel very strange. He had sent men in all four directions. If the enemy had indeed landed, they couldn’t have missed seeing them. Even if the enemy were incredibly fast and their stealth techniques were extraordinarily advanced, there was no way his men wouldn’t have noticed. What was going on? Why was there still no news at all? Could it be... Could he be overthinking, and Shen Tian hadn’t sent anyone to the island?

Regardless, it was better to contact his men first and verify the situation just to be safe. With this thought, Yang Shu instructed Boss to immediately get in touch with the rest of their men to figure out the current situation.

"Yes, Boss." After hearing Yang Shu’s thoughts, Boss understood what he meant, replied briefly to him, and then proceeded to contact the Dark Demons using the command and control system. What Boss had never expected was that he couldn’t make contact with the Dark Demons either...

No news from the east...

There was no news from the west...

There was no news from the north...

There was no news from the north...

...

Gradually, the sweat on his glasses became even more intense, and even he had a strong premonition that something had gone wrong!

He couldn’t contact anyone, which was not a good sign at all. Considering that the Dark Demons maintained very strict discipline, it was impossible for them not to respond to a call. Glasses became anxious and kept switching targets until, after a few minutes, he finally confirmed something—that none of the twenty or so Dark Demons on the periphery had responded to him. This... this was truly inconceivable. What on earth had happened to them? Could it be... could they all be asleep? Otherwise, how could they possibly not respond to his contact...

Or had they all encountered some incident? This... this couldn’t be possible. These people were so formidable that no one could overpower them so completely. It was simply impossible. In front of the Dark Demons, even an S-level master couldn’t leave them with absolutely no reaction. So... what on earth was going on? Why couldn’t he contact anyone!

The more Glasses thought about it, the more panicked he became, but he knew he must inform Yang Shu, so the Boss could decide what to do next.

"Boss, they... for some unknown reason, I can’t contact any of them. I really don’t know what’s going on..." Glasses said, somewhat awkwardly. This situation was extremely abnormal. If he had taken some precautions earlier, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened. He was somewhat afraid that the Boss would get angry and blame him.

But... but it wasn’t his fault either. The Dark Demons were now so powerful that no one could have foreseen this happening. If someone could actually kill the Dark Demons without making a sound, then... then their strength must be terrifying, probably... probably beyond imagination!

Thinking this, Glasses became even more frantic, truly afraid that his suspicions were correct...

"What! What do you mean you can’t contact them? What the ***** is going on!" When Yang Shu heard Glasses’ words, he immediately got angry. The Dark Demons were known for their strict discipline; such a situation should not arise. What did Glasses mean by his words? Could it be that the communication system had broken down? Otherwise, how could it be impossible to make contact?

In Yang Shu’s opinion, the power of the Dark Demons was now extremely frightening, and it was unlikely that any mishap would occur. If there were any mishap, they should be able to raise an alarm. Even against S-level masters, they should have been able to handle it. But the fact that no alarms had been raised until now was proof enough that they were safe. So... why couldn’t he contact them? What... what was really going on?

"Boss, I don’t know why, but the communication equipment is working properly, yet none of them is responding. I really don’t know what has happened..." Glasses of course understood what Yang Shu meant and quickly explained on the side. The machines were working fine, but the reactions of the Dark Demons were too abnormal, and this was the case for everyone outside. This... this... the situation really looked dire...

"What!"

Hearing what Glasses said, Yang Shu immediately felt panic rise within him. His men wouldn’t behave like this; if they detected any trouble, they would surely notify him. The current situation was extremely abnormal, extremely abnormal indeed!

Suddenly, a strong sense of unease surged again in Yang Shu’s heart. He couldn’t help but think of the worst, wondering whether his men had all encountered trouble. This... this couldn’t be possible; their capabilities were now comparable to peak AAA-level masters. How could they possibly get into trouble without any sign!

But no matter how much Yang Shu thought, he couldn’t come up with a reason to explain the current situation. He felt increasingly that something was terribly wrong, and just at that moment, Yang Shu suddenly felt a gaze on his back. He turned around sharply and saw Shen Yao and her companion staring at him with a ’you’re doomed’ expression, which made Yang Shu feel very uncomfortable.

"Do you know what’s going on?" Yang Shu stared intently at the two women, speaking coldly. His intuition told him that these two women definitely knew what had happened. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have that expression. To find out what had happened, he would have to start with these two women.
