The news about the Expedition was disseminated to all Safe Zones, while the tragic news about Safe Zone 4 was kept under wraps. Those who knew had pale faces. This was more so for the Panel members. In just one night an entire Safe Zone had been lost to a completely unexpected enemy. An enemy that had come from nowhere.
A few drones as well as a scout team had been sent to Safe Zone 4 while footage from the satellite had been utilised to check what had actually happened. It was shocking to the technical team under Rena that they had missed this.
As was the situation when the satellite was used to check the feed from the island that was speculated to house the source of the apocalypse, the satellite could not acquire adequate visual on things that were too far from it. The prominent reason was the fact that the earth wasn't as sunny and bright as it used to be. Thick fogs and dark clouds would always be hovering in the atmosphere.
