Han Niba turned his head and said something to the staff officer beside him.
The next second, the communications feed switched.
A three-dimensional map of the globe unfolded on the screen.
Dense clusters of red dots covered every continent and ocean on the map.
Some lay in the equatorial ruins belt, some deep within the old African continent, some beneath the fault zones of the Eurasian plate, and a few on islands.
Every red dot kept flashing.

Fifty-three space wormholes.

"Most are in the equatorial exclusion zone and areas humans can't reach."
"Our satellites can only pick up the Demon Clan's surface activity
