"What's going on out there? What's going on?" Charlotte turned to Eugene and asked, "Why are so many people coming in and out? What the hell are they doing? Usually, they don’t even allow unregistered vehicles to come in."
Eugene said coldly, "You don't need to know that."
"You!" Charlotte pointed her index finger at him, shaking with anger, "Eugene, so you think I'm not a big deal, just because you have Otis behind you? I'll call my father right now! I'm going to call my dad right now and you will lose your job, huh?"
Charlotte made a gesture to take out her phone.
In fact, she only threatened Eugene. She did not dare to really call General Ralph. She was very afraid of General Ralph, and she rarely talked to him. She would simply avoid him, and would never ask General Ralph to get rid of Eugene.
Eugene didn’t buy that either.
He glared provocatively at Charlotte, "Go ahead then. Make the call now."
Charlotte's fingers were shaking with anger as she scrolled the screen, only to find that the phone had no signal at all.
She opened her eyes wide, looked carefully, and shook the phone again, but still, she got no signal.
How was it possible? The military had its own signal towers with enhanced signal, and it was simply impossible to receive no signal unless something big had happened!
She rushed to the sofa and picked up the landline from the coffee table.
"Duh—"
Surprisingly, there was no signal even for landlines.
Apparently, it was all cut off.
Were they isolated from the world?
She stared at Eugene in horror. What had happened? How could this happen?
Eugene glanced at Charlotte with a smug look on his face, and there was only mockery left in his eyes.
Just then, a rumble of a car engine sounded downstairs.
