Rear Admiral Fuliand gave Arlan a standard salute. "Greetings, Mr. Roa."
Arlan smiled at him and said while pointing at the chair in front of his desk. "Please take your seat, Rear Admiral Fuliand."
The admiral nodded his head and took his seat. He wondered why Arlan summoned him.
"Read Admiral Fuliand, I know that you have a lot of things to do at this moment so I won't beat around the bush with you. You once told me that you came from a world called Nolvora. Can you tell me more about this?" Arlan's face turned serious all of a sudden.
Hearing this, Rear Admiral Fuliand furrowed his eyebrows. He took a deep breath and let out a deep sigh. A distraught expression surfaced on his face as he said. "Nolvora is more technologically advanced than this planet and we are already close to becoming a Class E Civilization."
"Class E Civilization? Can you elaborate on that?" Arlan revealed a look of confusion.
The admiral nodded his head. "Civilizations are ranked according to their level of technology and overall power. In the case of Nolvora, we are already close to creating our own spaceship capable of galactic travel. This is one of the requirements to become a Class E Civilization."
Arlan leaned on his chair. "Then what do you think of our planet?" He asked.
The rear admiral rubbed his chin as he pondered for a moment. He then looked at Arlan and replied. "We haven't stayed here for long so my understanding of Earth is still shallow, but from what we have seen so far, this planet is barely a Class G Civilization. To let you understand more about this, an unranked civilization is the weakest and it is followed by Class G Civilization. While the strongest civilization is Class S."
Arlan was stunned upon hearing this. The rear admiral's words made him realize that Earth was just a tiny speck of dust in the universe. "That is unbelievable..." He muttered while shaking his head.
Rear Admiral Fuliand didn't say anything and just stared at him silently.
Arlan cleared his throat and asked. "Then can you tell how you were transported to our planet?"
Rear Admiral Fuliand shook his head. "After our world was destroyed, I felt like I was floating aimlessly in the endless darkness and when I thought I would be stuck in that darkness for eternity, I heard your voice. You summoned me... It's like you summoned us here, Mr. Roa."
"Thank you for telling me about this. You may leave, Rear Admiral Fuliand."
The rear admiral stood up and saluted at him before he took his leave.
Rear Admiral Fuliand's words answered his curiosity, but it also brought more questions to him. It made him realize that there were greater beings and civilizations out there in the universe. Arlan also became fearful of the entity that gave him the mysterious app. "Let's forget about this for the time being." He sighed while rubbing his temples.

News about a zombie virus spreading all over the world exploded on the internet. There were also recordings of zombie attacks which made the whole world terrified.
The global leaders held an emergency meeting through video call. They couldn't travel and meet in person because of the virus so this was their only choice.
At this moment, the top powerhouses like the USA and China presided over the meeting. Even the dictator of North Korea who was usually absent in world meetings was present.
"Everyone, this virus is different from coronavirus a few years ago. According to our prior studies, once a person is infected with the virus, they will exhibit symptoms of insanity and desire for flesh. It's like they will become beasts who only crave flesh and blood. Infected people are..."
The global leaders discussed the symptoms and other related things about the virus which they had discovered so far. Everyone's faces turned increasingly solemn as more data were revealed to them.
"Everyone, I know that some of you here have some disagreements, but we should temporarily forget about this. Our main priority should be the eradication of this virus. I hope that everyone will focus on researching drugs that could eliminate the virus." The president of America said with a serious voice.
"Gentlemen, I have something to say." The president of Pakistan suddenly said.
Everyone looked over and stared at the white-haired old man wearing glasses. He had a solemn look on his face. "I will show you what's happening outside." He muttered as he brought the camera with him as he walked by the window. He then shifted the camera view to let everyone see the situation outside.
At this moment, everyone saw the soldiers of Pakistan bravely defending the presidential palace against a sea of zombies. There were so many zombies that they looked like a whole colony of ants marching aggressively towards the palace.
The sounds of gunshots and grenades exploding could be heard from time to time. The desperate struggle of Pakistan's army was seen by the global leaders.
The president of Pakistan shifted the camera back to himself as he said. "As you have seen, Islamabad has already fallen. We are moving the citizens to another city, but the situation isn't good. This might be the last time I'm going to speak with you all. I hope that you will be more prepared than us and you should evacuate your people as soon as possible..."
"I will join the soldiers soon. I will kill a few those of zombies before I die!" The president of Pakistan took out a gun and mumbled. "There is none worthy of worship but Allah." He then stormed out of the office and left without saying goodbye.
The global leaders were silent after seeing the situation in Islamabad. This also made them more fearful about the zombie virus. In just a day, it actually managed to infect a large portion of the population in Islamabad.
"Everyone, I pray that your countries will be safe. We will send help as soon as we have evacuated our citizens. Farewell." The president of the USA disconnected the call.
The other leaders also disconnected the call after bidding farewell.
