Report to the General

"I don't think any virus will work on their systems" Song Wuyi said again with a heavy sigh"They specifically requested for them. Like you know there are links you should not click? They clicked them all."

"So what, all we can do is inform government and let them decide?" Liu Beng was exasperated. He didn't want just to point the problem, he wanted possible solutions. Otherwise the report would be the end of his little adventure. "Wait, what about the address? A lot of those pages need one."

"I can't hack wherever I want, whenever I want." Wuyi covered his face in irritation.

"But you can copy the script and put it on a new webpage" Liu Jia said while checking her feed on the phone. "Just add something interesting, like cat pictures, and voila."

"That's great idea. I'll start on it!" Wuyi didn't waste time anymore, although in back of his head he had no idea what will it help with.

"I know, right? Cat photos are the best!"

"Jiajia" Beng sigh, but was definitely in good spirits. He already informed his unit, that he may have something. Of course, as a military consultant his work phone was monitored, so currently there were a few factions fighting to get to him first.

"Ok, I have the address... That's a riddle. There is place on square in Beijing, but the number is..." Before he could end Liu Beng already decoded the message"

"It's the date. And frankly it's in two days. Whatever they're planning, they're not wasting time."

"There are more applications?" Wuyi was shocked. It quickly turn out that they were squares in biggest cities in the world. Total of 52. Some countries had a few, while many others had none. "What does that mean?"

"Well, if you put them on the map, you'll see fifty two red points all over the globe" Jia said while reading something on her phone.

"Smartass. But putting them on the map is gonna..."

"Be a waste of time"

"Why are you constantly interrupting me brother Liu Beng?"

"You're not the only one asking this question, sadly. I can't explain it to you though. I am this way, and I like it"

"So your ex left you because of that?" Song Wuyi easily guessed.

"More like all of them." Liu Jia did not leave any face for her brother.

"Yeah, you are both really special."

"Oh, thank you!"

"It wasn't a compliment." Wuyi was taken aback by this response by Beng

"I don't get them often, so I'll take them as they are." Liu Beng was shameless in that sense. He would never care what others think of him, even superiors had to take him with a grain of salt.

"Anyway, we have all we need, download all this info on pendrive, or a phone, I don't care, and we are going."

"Where?" Wuyi felt like he was getting into a trouble. When he heard Jia next, his worries where proven correct.

"You wanted to know what my brother do for a living. Your wish will be granted." Her smile was like acid on the wound.

When they went out three military cars were already waiting on them. Even though it was night it created quite a bit of commotion, as people were not exactly sleepy with aliens above their heads.

As three huge military cars parked at the street, and soldiers in the uniforms secured the area, the feeling was ominous. To peoples confusion three figures walked out of the building, under which the whole scene was taking place. After short conversation, one of them flashed a badge, everyone packed into the cars and left like nothing ever happened.

In the car Liu Beng was connected to secure line with a general.

"General Zhou She! If I had to bet who would get to me first tonight I would be a rich man by now!"

"Spare me the complements military consultant Liu Beng. What do you have for me tonight?" General was well known for his direct approach. Liu Beng didn't mind it, even better, he knew that general liked to be complimented. It was just a simple act in front of the subordinates, to not loose face.

"Then let me just say that it's not as bad as would assume in the first place. There is hope for humanity."

"Aliens contacted you?" He was suspicious. Why would they ever contact just a random military consultant, and pass official contact points, or even go straight to presidents. He quickly scratched that idea, but the question had to be asked. For the record.

"No, Sir." They left us a riddle while doing their own things. "We just had to unpack it. I believe they want us to solve the riddle and prepare appropriate response. You're not gonna like it, Sir."

"So they want us to give up without a fight?" General wasn't stupid, he could read between the lines. In this day and age there were not many wars, so military was mostly politicized. What is bravery, when there's no enemy? If enemy have nukes it's bad, if they don't, then they have almost no fighting force.

"General, they sent us evacuation Coordinates."
