Chapter 230: Exploration Phase
After lunch, Guan Ling and I listened to the current search information of this ruin-searching team, as well as the next route selection, so that we could understand some of the places to go next and things to do.
It is scheduled to go up the mountain at 1:30 p.m. for a new round of searching, and according to the members, the search for the ruins has only recently begun, and no new ruins have been found except for the ruins that have been identified in the past.
Therefore, the near future is a time to work hard, and according to intelligence, this mountain range has that special relic energy response.
At noon, after summarizing the search information, it was close to 1:30 and we were ready to embark on the afternoon journey.
Follow a group of about twenty people.
There are a six-person team that rises up the mountain by helicopter, and there are also mecha troops, and the route that has already been explored can be skipped first, and a new round of exploration is carried out after coming to the high mountain road.
The exploration location is marked on the map, and we still choose to take off into the airframe and follow the troops' ranks for a while.
The troops moved in an orderly order, in a gradual cycle, and it took us about ten minutes to reach the top of an uphill road covered with snow.
We immediately got out of the cabin and came to the snow on the mountain again, the cold wind blew, it was extremely cold, I was wearing a black coat, and Guan Ling was also wearing a gray dress with a hat on her head.
"Next, we will divide the search into two lines, I and the ten people here will go to the right, and you will be on the left." One of the squad leaders said
"The communicator and search device are fine." He said again
Everyone checked it, and there was no problem on the surface.
We headed to the left, and after confirming that it was done, the team split into two lanes.
The search prop is a spatial sensing device of the terrain that can detect hidden places, such as places that are not visible to our eyes.
The relics of the quest for the exploration unit should be hidden, so use these items to explore.
A group of twelve people was currently in number, and we headed towards the mountain path on the left, which led to the mountains on the other side. It is located in the direction of the Himalayas and on the other side of the Karakoram Mountains.
This mountain range is located between the two highest mountains.
We are currently exploring, and the team of 12 people, in my opinion, is too large, and will probably split up further at some stage.
In this way, efficiency can be improved.
And actually, as I thought, when we reached the fork, the squad leader over there seemed to start suggesting the next split action, at least two people in each action, the minimum requirement.
And stay in touch within half an hour.
In this way, the combination of Guan Ling and I is also decided, we can continue to act together with other people, but this is our choice.
I didn't have a clue what the choice was, but the main researcher said that we were the key people in finding the ruins, and the real key was the blue heart of the body I was driving.
"Over there, there are places we haven't been to yet, so let's go there." Guan Ling said to the team leader in front of him
"Oh, it's steep over there, are you newcomers okay?"
"No problem, we have the latest mech, and the environment is very adaptable, let's drive that mech." Guan Ling said
So the squad leader agreed.
Guan Ling came to my side and said, "Let's continue to explore in pairs." ”
"yes, I see."
I don't have much to say about the situation as it has turned out, it's okay to work in pairs, and it's a good choice in terms of the tasks that are part of the Academy.
In a short time, we were in the cabin and running the airframe, first of all, the steep road above, and for us, we could even choose to continue further exploration in the mech, and the blue heart reacted to the energy of the ruins, which was probably much more efficient than the carpet search of the exploration troops.
Soon the Blue Heart rises to the top of the mountain, and it's time to explore.
"It's around here, just take a dip, and you might find something." Guan Ling said
"Well, the body reacts to that energy, and the energy is in a state of bloom at that time, so even the place where it was originally thousands of miles away has sensed, and from this, the body senses the intensity or morphological change of that specific energy source." I said
Since this is the case, it is regarded as a radar-like role, driving this mecha forward.
If I'm not mistaken, we'll be far more efficient than the Quest troops.
Therefore, from this moment on, it is the time to let go of your hands and feet a little, let the body accelerate, and sweep all the places here, although I am not sure about the sensing range of the body, but from the point of view, it should have a radius of about 100 meters.
I don't think I'm going to miss anything, and under the subtle sense of distance, flying over the snowy mountains at high speed. The original spirit has become one with the body, which makes my feelings clearer.
It's no problem to search with a carpet like this.
"At this rate, it will soon be possible to complete the process of 100 people in one day." Guan Ling said
"That's right, but no matter how fast you are, there's no point in finding it, it's the target's reaction that matters." I said
"It's okay, I should be able to find it." Guan Ling encouraged
I think so, and Guan Ling thinks even more, she asked for information from Pulun, and the existence of the ruins should be certain.
The body flew in a circle around the snow-capped mountain, as if it was circling the mountain, from top to bottom.
"This speed, it's a bit exciting, I can't stand it..."Guan Ling said with her head covered
"yes, that's rare."
Guan Ling really can't stand this high-speed flight, and I am indeed a little surprised in the face of this rare thing. It's human, after all.
Then I slowed down.
"Thank you..."Guan Ling said with some reluctance
"Are you alright?" I couldn't help but wonder
"It's okay"
After a slowdown, the exploration continued.
Upon further searching, all of a sudden, the core of the Blue Heart reacted with energy and began to glow with blue light. The light jumped, and I couldn't help but stop flying at high speed and stay in the vicinity.
"Got a reaction?"
"It looks like so."
"Can you confirm the direction?" Guan Ling said
According to the reaction of the energy, I can really feel the strength of the energy source at this moment, which is about a certain direction to the west.
It wasn't long before I confirmed that not far below, in the west, was a treacherous area leading to the valley, which was probably the direction of the energy source.
"Over there, under the withered tree." I pointed to a spot on the side display
"yes, let's go check it."
As we approached the location, the light intensified, signaling that we were approaching our target.
"Let's go down." Guan Ling said again
"That's right."
Roughly within range of the target location, we leaped out of the mech, and as far as the eye could see, it was cold and uninhabited.
The aircraft continued to fly slowly in the air, approaching the target location, and we immediately followed in the snow. Approaching the center point step by step, in front of my eyes was a downhill snowfield, which was about the foot of the mountain, and the terrain in front of me was not very good.
It is indeed a place that few people will visit.
I saw that the terrain was not good, so I jumped down, and there was a steep uphill slope in front of me, and I couldn't help but slide down, and when I landed, I was able to stand firmly, and I landed smoothly on a piece of snow below.
Guan Ling then jumped down, and he was very good and landed firmly to score eight points, and we immediately continued to move forward, in front, there was a mountain rock, where I am afraid it was already a dead end, but the direction in which the blue heart flew was there, so there might be something there, not a side road but near the mountain rock.
Just like archaeological work sometimes requires dismantling rocks.
I confirmed the approximate location through the primordial spirit attached to the Blue Heart, and reached out to touch the snow-covered rock wall.
At this time, he took out the props used for exploration, and the props reacted, indicating that there was a road in it, not a sealed rock formation.
"Looks like it's around here, let's get out of the way." I said
Signaling Guan Ling to retreat with me, we both willed, and retreated a distance, and the blue body suddenly came out at this time, and opened a hole there with the white and blue sword in his backhand.
As the sword was drawn, the snow below was shaken, and the snow sank along with the rocks, and the surrounding area was suddenly obscured by white snow dust, and in a short time, we could see a cave-like junction in front of us.
"There it is." Guan Ling said when he saw this
"Well, it should be." I said
We all agreed that there should be nothing wrong here.
"Let's go in and have a look." Guan Ling proposed
I also thought it was time to go in and make sure, so I nodded.
As we were about to walk towards the cave, the communicator rang, and I took it out to see if it was supposed to be a call from someone from the Exploration Force, and there was indeed a rule for contact once an hour and a half.
So I connected, and there are several ways to get in touch, such as triangular tones, or direct contact.
"How's it going, it's okay DC1, DC2." The captain just came to the contact
"It's fine."
"How's it going?"
"It seems that a potential site similar to the possible ruins has been found." I replied
"Really... Where is it? ”
After the conversation, we reported our location to the team leader, I don't know what will be like in the cave, anyway, we have a locator on us anyway.
According to the team leader, it is to make us wait a little near the same place for a while, in case we encounter any danger, in such deep mountains, there is a danger of casually entering unknown caves, and deep caves often have some unexpected things that make it easy to fall into dangerous situations.
Collapse, poisonous insects, getting lost, etc., we waited in the original according to the words of the squad leader.
"Really, it's better for us to go first and take a look, it's a waste of time to wait for them." Guan Ling, who was standing next to the cave with me at the moment, said
"Well, don't say that, the key isn't here." I said
Then we waited silently on the snowy ground for the arrival of the personnel.
