Zihhan looked at the surrounding environment and said, "Number 3, do you really want to take off your protective suit in this environment? The air around here must be unbearable."
Zhou Xiaoyue agreed, "Exactly. I've seen documentaries about the garbage mountains in the Third World countries. They described the air as 'acrid, stinging the eyes so much you can't open them, and even after leaving the area, the smell clinging to your nostrils lingers indefinitely.' This place looks just like that!"
As Zhou Xiaoyue described it, Lin Dong's mind conjured up the scene.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. That situation would definitely not be good."
Lin Dong abandoned the thought of taking off his protective suit for now.
Su Han looked into the distance and said, "You don't need to worry. Once we leave this place, we won't smell this odor anymore. We can take off our protective suits when we get there."
At this moment, the results from other detectors also came out.
Chu Shi said, "There is a weak radiation here. Although the dosage is very small, prolonged exposure can still cause problems. Hmm, the drone didn't detect any threats. Let's find the radiation source."
The protective suits worn by the seven people all had radiation protection functions, so they were not afraid and began to search for the radiation source with their radiation detectors.
After searching for a while, Chu Shi retrieved an unknown object from a garbage mountain.
Lin Dong leaned over to look. The object was about the size of a mobile phone, and its surface was completely black. Lin Dong couldn't tell what it was. Lin Dong asked, "Is it really this thing?"
Chu Shi said, "It is this thing. The radiation is coming from this item."
Su Han said, "Then this thing needs to be handled properly. After all, the portal in this world cannot be moved. If we want to come here again in the future, we will have to come out from here."
Chu Shi searched again at the location where the radioactive item was found and found a metal box.
Then Chu Shi placed the radioactive item into the metal box and closed it.
The readings on the radiation detector immediately dropped significantly.
"Hmm, just as I thought, this metal box is used to contain this radioactive item. The readings show that the radiation has now dropped to a safe level. This is the outer shell of the radioactive item. Lin Dong, bury this in the sand over there and make a mark. We will take it back for analysis later."
Lin Dong carried the radioactive item to the spot indicated by Chu Shi. The spot was thirty meters away from the portal.
After burying it, Lin Dong placed a red metal trash can on top of it. After all, there was a lot of sand here, and if it wasn't marked, they wouldn't know where they had buried the item.
Chu Shi said, "Everyone, don't worry. Even without the outer shell, the radioactive item would not affect humans within five meters. Now that we are thirty meters away, there is even less to worry about."
Even Chu Shi, who was usually quiet, seemed a bit verbose at this moment.
After completing these tasks, everyone finally had time to explore the surroundings.
Su Han asked, "It's getting late. It's time for us to move. Number 1, where should we move now?"
Chu Shi said, "Number 0, based on the images from the drone, we are in a vast landfill. The drone explored the area and found that everything except the southeast direction is part of the landfill. Even to the southeast, beyond ten kilometers, it's an endless desert. So, we cannot move for now."
Su Han pondered for a moment and said, "So, that means we can only stay here for now. Number 1, I didn't expect you to say so much. What's the point of us staying here?"
Chu Shi said, "We are staying here to gather more intelligence. Lin Dong, Xiao Yan, open the equipment case and take out the parts. Number 0, make the portal invisible."
Everyone began to act.
Su Han made the portal invisible. After the portal became invisible, no creature other than the seven of them could see or touch the portal.
Meanwhile, Lin Dong and Xiao Yan took out various equipment from the equipment case.
Ye Fan, Zihhan, and Zhou Xiaoyue continued to stand guard with their guns.
Chu Shi took out a device with an antenna from the case.
The device also had a keyboard and a screen.
Chu Shi explained, "This device is a simple signal search device. It can automatically search for various radio waves and electromagnetic waves. If the signal rules of this planet are the same as those used on Blue Star, this device will be able to detect them."
Chu Shi started the signal search device to operate automatically, and various data began to appear on the screen. At the same time, a lot of static noise also started to come from the device.
Chu Shi let the device run automatically and then instructed Lin Dong and Xiao Yan to continue taking out assembly modules from the equipment case.
"Lin Dong, take out that part too."
"Xiao Yan, take out these parts."
After a pile of parts was taken out, Chu Shi began to assemble them. Lin Dong and Xiao Yan assisted him during the assembly.
Soon, three globalized drones were assembled.
These three globalized drones looked somewhat similar to the Globalized Drone Type 2, but they were not the Globalized Drone Type 2 at all.
"These three are Globalized Drone Type 3. Magic arrays are inscribed on their surfaces, which allow for longer endurance and speed. They can now fly without assisted takeoff."
Under Chu Shi's control, the magic arrays on the three Globalized Drone Type 3 lit up, and the three drones took off. The Globalized Drone Type 3 were loaded with magic stones, so the magic arrays could be activated even without magical energy.
After rising to a height higher than the garbage mountains, the three Globalized Drone Type 3 flew towards the distance, continuously increasing their altitude during their flight. Soon, the three Globalized Drone Type 3 disappeared into the sky.
After the three Globalized Drone Type 3 flew away, Chu Shi assembled a small radar to receive signals from them.
As the Globalized Drone Type 3 flew in the sky, they continuously transmitted the images they captured back to them.
A portion of their attention was also focused on the satellite phone in Chu Shi's hand, which was receiving the images. The images displayed on the phone shocked the seven people, including Su Han...
