They weren't worried about mutants or anything, those things were no threat to them now, what they were really worried about was whether the long-term unmaintained would have any adverse effects on the buildings here, whether there would be any safety hazards.

Although two years could not make the huge structure in front of them vulnerable to it, they did not know what the Burj Khalifa was in before. So, with the idea that it always hurts to be careful, they scanned it anyway.

A few minutes later, the scan results of the drone swarm came back, and the structure of the building in front of them from the foundation to the top floor was very strong and safe, and no structural safety hazards were found.

"Alright, don't complain, we can go in." After reading the results, Shen Chao patted Custer on the shoulder, and then motioned for everyone to act according to the plan.

He knew that Custer didn't like this place as a future plane center, but everyone else, including himself, would rather spend more time and energy perfecting the security system than live underground or in a cave.

Immediately after receiving permission for his actions, two groups of soldiers and hundreds of men entered the giant tower in batches. The inspection began.

After they entered the building, they first arranged for security guards to check all the rooms in the building one by one to confirm the situation on each floor. And began to integrate a comprehensive test report.

For this operation, the security machines they brought with them have installed some engineering or maintenance subroutines, and the integrity of the circuit, water supply and ventilation systems can be handed over to them for inspection.

Doing so saves a lot of unnecessary repetitive human labor. While the people were carefully inspecting the building layer by layer, Shen Chao flew to the small platform next to the lightning rod at the top of the building, watching the scenery and waiting for the results.

The soldiers will be responsible for the specific assessment and restoration work after the inspection of the building, and nothing else will happen. Therefore, he is not lazy to come to see the scenery at this time.

The scenery here is very good, and when you look down from the top of the tower, you don't feel like you're standing on a building because the whole tower is too tall and thin. Standing on the top floor, you can't see the bottom floor at all. It felt like I was standing on a huge vertical stick.

At this time, the city beneath his feet seemed to be dead silent, and most of the streets of the city were covered with yellow sand. The buildings in many places show signs of destruction in different ways.

The ruins from the explosion, the traces of the fire, the abandoned military vehicles...... Especially on the outskirts of the city, drone footage shows that there are still some new traces of explosions. At first glance, it was clear that it was the tribesmen from outside the city who were trying to exterminate the mutants and return here.

If this guess is correct, then they may meet their first allies or enemies in this world in a short time. It mainly depends on the attitude of the other party.

There are only a few barely visible black dots moving through the streets on the ground in the distance, and that's their drones and the ground forces tasked with cleaning up the city.

As the black dots moved, there were faint and tight gunshots in the distant city. That's the mutants that others are cleaning up the city.

Their weapons and equipment are advanced, their firepower is powerful, and they know the number and location of mutants well, so the efficiency of cleaning up mutants is extremely high.

After clearing the city of Dubai, they will spend the next few days cleaning up the mutants in nearby cities, looking for surviving humans in those cities and the surrounding desert.

In order to occupy this plane, they need not only weapons and equipment that have long been prepared. It is even more important to have as many survivors as possible. And not just the survivors of this world......

As he admired the city beneath his feet and thought about his next steps, the sound of a small plasma thruster was heard, and Alice, dressed in new armor, flew to the antenna on the rooftop.

"You really know how to enjoy it, leave me to see the scenery by myself." She will land on the small platform next to Shen Chao and take off her helmet. Shaking his long hair, he complained.

"I'm sorry, I promise to take you ...... next time" Shen Chao apologized slightly, hugged Alice over to enjoy the scenery together, and then asked about the inspection of the building below.

"I'm looking at the progress, it's going to be at least a few hours. After waiting for the plane, people checked and estimated that it was going to be dark. She grumbled in his arms. Because the progress was much slower than they expected.

According to their original expected progress, they will be able to complete the basic occupation and resettlement work tonight, and control all the important areas of the city. But the first part of the plan is now behind schedule.

Just as they were saying this, Shen Chao's universal tool flashed, and a new message came. Shen Chao opened it and looked at it, it was a report.

"It looks like someone is getting ahead of schedule, and our cleanup team has just sent a report that they've cleaned up the mutants in the city, but no survivors have been found. ”

"So fast? Alice was a little surprised, they had estimated that it would take about an hour or two to clean up the mutants scattered around.

"That's right, it's that soon, I'm going to send them around to search for survivors." At the same time, we're going to hurry. We can't let those mercenaries come and find that we haven't even built a base. ”

Although Shen Chao was also a little surprised by the speed of cleaning up the team, he had just seen the real scene, so he knew how such efficiency was achieved.

To put it simply, the soldiers used a very classic, very thorough, and at the same time the most destructive method when cleaning up the mutants, which is fire coverage.

They were too cautious, even if their opponents were much weaker than they were now, they could not make contact without contact, compared to the fact that they would prefer to directly knock down the entire building with heavy fire, or penetrate the entire wall to kill the mutants inside.

It's quick and safe, but the clean-up alone has pushed 14 small buildings and a shopping mall.

"Sure enough, you can't let them train recruits. Shen Chao shook his head and said, the soldiers are good, but they have no concept of cost in their hearts, they will only take the best combat plan, and they will not consider that they will rebuild after the destruction here.

If the armies they build in the future are all like this to clean up the mutants, then the difficulty of their subsequent reconstruction plan is estimated to be many times more plain.

With that, he dragged Alice back into the building to help with the building inspection. Despite their involvement, a thorough inspection of the building took a full three hours.

The space inside the building is so large that the whole building feels like walking through a maze when examined. In the end, the results of the inspection showed that although the entire building had been abandoned for more than two years and the various systems were somewhat damaged, the overall state of preservation was much better than they had previously anticipated, and it was not difficult to restore it.

After confirming this, Shen Chao left a small number of soldiers and a number of security guards with engineering assistance programs installed, and asked them to be responsible for renovating the entire building, at least repairing the main systems of the building.

He then removed the space-time gate that had been on the street, and opened a space-time door that led to the square in front of the gate at the bottom of the Burj Khalifa, and used a dìng device to stabilize the dìng.

He then returned to the main base for a few minutes, activated nearly 4,000 new security machines, and returned with them and a large amount of infrastructure.

The newly arrived planes were quickly deployed at various entrances and exits of the city, and nearly a thousand drones worked together to surround the entire city to ensure that no mutants or unauthorized people could enter the city.

At this point, they have officially occupied the main city of Dubai, and they can try to restore the functions of the city After arranging this, Shen Chao led the rest of the people to take over several other important locations.

Power stations and water stations outside the city were their first targets. He asked Custer to take a team to the waterworks, Alice to the famous Burj Al Arab, and himself to inspect the power station.

After two years of abandonment, God knows what happens to the two important facilities, the power plant and the waterworks. There is also the Burj Al Arab, which is the living area of the expedition in this world that they are scheduled for a future stage. It must be sorted out as early as possible in order to move in.

Let's talk about Shen Chao's journey first, he spent more than ten minutes, riding a hammerhead chariot, with a few soldiers and hundreds of security planes, all the way to the power station under the scorching sun and sand.

The area where they are located was originally an oil-producing country, so there is no doubt that this power plant is a thermal power station. Moreover, the scale is quite large, there are more than a dozen oil storage tanks up to 20 meters high, and the three large combustion workshops are as tall as the Eiffel Tower.

Since it is built in the desert, all the facilities are painted white or silver, and the whole factory area still looks a little dazzling in the slightly dim sunlight in the afternoon.

After confirming the location, he led the team into the power plant, and then spent a few seconds destroying the few mutants who didn't know why they were hiding here, and then rummaged through the information.

Of course, he is not going to come and restart the thermal power plant, which is such an inefficient energy source as it is incompatible with their future development plans and must be abandoned.

The reason why he led the team to find this place is that the database of the main control computer here has all the information of the power grid in the whole city of Dubai.

If this information has not been destroyed, they should be able to use it to restore power to the city's main grid in a short period of time.

After a few minutes, they found the host that controlled the power grid, and found the information they needed in the computer room. But since this part of the plant had apparently been damaged recently, and the equipment in the engine room had broken down a lot, the number they had collected was incomplete.

Shen Chao used his own universal tools to spend two hours here to recover most of the data. At this time, night had fallen, and the mutants in several nearby cities had also been eliminated by the drones and soldiers sent before. (To be continued.) )
