878.Torrential Rain Is Coming

While the Quicksand Council was engaged in doing good deeds,

the Academy received a message.

As is well known, in the Wasteland, the transmission of information is an extremely difficult task. Not only is there no modern electronic communication, but even the classic ancient homing pigeon system has disappeared in this desert. Thus, most of the information received by city-states about the outside world is tremendously delayed.

For instance, news of the Promised Land reached Utopia first with the return of Shuangxin's exploration team, then spread from Utopia. By the time other city-states learned of it, in most cases, a month had already passed.

There are some exceptionally special Transcendents who can listen to sounds from hundreds of miles away, or communicate telepathically with their twin siblings, and some Saints come with certain extraordinary abilities, allowing them to peek into specific places. These are the Wasteland's equivalent of having eyes and ears everywhere.
