hearing the sound Krom quickly took out the mobilephone he was carrying and contacted the emergency number, it took some time before the call was picked up from other side
"hello please help me, I'm speaking from city 22 I have been stuck here for 4 days after the sudden attack from those monsters and my mom was also a resident of here please tell me if you have any information about her" he said as soon as the call was picked without giving any chance for other side to speak
"ok sir, let me.... wait what did you say, which city are you speaking from?"
the person who was speaking from other side was shocked hearing about the city Krom was talking from
"as I said I am speaking from city 22 "
"wait sir let me contact my higher ups"
"ok but please be fast"
having said that the call was put on hold for some time before a harsh male voice replaced the firm female voice that was speaking earlier
" hello I am general Martin can I ask who am I speaking to?"
"I am Krom teneshin "
"ok Krom can you tell me where you are speaking from ? "
"I am speaking from city 22 "
"you are sure about that? you are not playing a prank are you, if you are doing so I advice you to stop it right now or you will get in trouble"
"I am telling the truth, I am in city 22 and have been stuck here for 4 days,. what is the meaning of these question I am asking for help here and your are not believing me"
" I am sorry about that but it is difficult to believe because city 22 was completely destroyed under the attack by those unknown creatures, we were able to save only 10% of population before we had to retreat"
"but here I am alive and taking to you, so can you ask more questions after saving me "
"I am sorry again but we are unable to save your at the moment"
"what! army should be able to deal easily with these creatures or could it be that only 1 life is not worth the effort? "
"it is not like that, it's just that there is something else over there that we are unable to deal with, that thing appeared while we were evacuating the citizens and more than half of our soldiers died by its hand before we head to retreat "
"how could it be"
"do not be so sad boy, we are definitely going to save you along with everyone"
"everyone? what do you mean, in the last 4 days I have traveled around half of the city but I did not find any other living human"
"to tell you the truth there are humans there but those monsters have imprisoned them , before you ask yes they do not seem to show any intelligence but when that big one came the other started to catch people other than killing them , were also surprised by that but we could do nothing to save them at the moment,"
right now we are waiting for more weapons and soldiers to arrive and as soon as we have enough force we are going to save you, stay safe until then"
Krom was really shocked by the statement of general on the phone, he could not believe that these beasts captured people
"by the way how were you able to survive there for all this time ?"
" I found out that these beasts uses smell to find us so I masked my scent and kept on hiding while looking for an area where I could connect to network and ask for any help"
Krom did not want to reveal anything about the system to anyone so he told them a lie, it was not a lie actually because system had told Krom this information about Daphs
"oh so that's how they find us, thank you buy the information you have provided will help many people survive during this crisis, if you have any other information about them then please tell us that too"
"there is one more thing but I am not sure, I think that the crystals that are embedded in their bodies are their weak points"
even though Krom did not want to reveal anything about the system he still wanted to save as many people as he could and of giving off this information was able to do that he would happily do that
"what! you are telling the truth right, this can be the reason for survival of many people of it is true"
"as I said I just thing so, I saw one of them don't after their crystal broke"
"ok I'll test it to make sure if it is true or not but I really appreciate your help "
"sir, can I ask if you have any information about my mother?"
"I can check if she is present here smoking the survives or not, what is her name?"
"Her name is sanoom teneshin"
"ok wait a minute I will get it checked right away"
the general then asked one of his subordinates to gather information, while Krom was getting anxious with every passing second, after waiting for around a few minutes the general spoke again
"I am sorry boy boy but it seems like your mother is not here, but do not be discouraged she might still be asking among the people who have been taken prisoner"
"ok sir I understand"
the words from general made Krom dad but not as much as he was during these previous few days as now he had atleast a little bit of hope that his mother is asking
"I'm hanging now but I am keeping this line free for you to be in touch with us and inform us if anything happens there and can you also help us locate the area where they have kept the people, I know that this is too heavy of a burden for you and there is heavy risk of losing your life but this can be a major help for saving those people"
"I understand sir, I will try my best"
"don't lose your life boy"
general hung up the phone after saying those last words to Krom, Krom also gained some hope after the conversation and was now just thinking of one thing which was to fulfill his role given to him by the general and find out the location of the prisoned people but he was also afraid of the other creatures that the general mentioned
but he could not back down now, so he prepared him and started searching for a safer place first do that he could increase his strength by the crystals he just got
