Chapter 729 Finding a Way Out



"Are the drones ready?"

Shi Quan nodded: "Yes! The drone is ready! We can conduct a test flight!"

"Hmm! Great! Let's see if we can fly straight up! It would be best to check what's on the pit walls! If we find any climbing spots, mark them!"

"No problem! Let's start the test flight now!"

Lu Yuan hummed in agreement, then watched as the people beside him began to get busy.

As a series of beeping sounds rang out, the lights on the drone began to turn on.

"First test flight! Begin!"

Shi Quan said in a deep voice.

The young man operating the drone then gently flicked the control stick, and the drone quickly flew upwards.

"One hundred meters! One hundred and fifty meters! Okay, let's test the wind force and stability!"

So the drone stopped in place and began to inspect the environment at an altitude of 100 meters.

A short while later, Shi Quan pointed to the screen and said, "Mr. Lu, the test is complete. The drone is fine at an altitude of 150 meters! The wind force above is level 7, which the drone can withstand! The current temperature is minus 15 degrees Celsius, and no climbing locations have been found yet!"

Lu Yuan nodded: "Okay! Continue!"

So Shi Quan once again raised the drone's altitude towards the team member who was controlling it.

"Two hundred meters, everything is normal!"

"continue!"

"Three hundred meters, wind force eight, within a controllable range!"

"Okay, be careful!"

"..."

"800 meters! We can already see the exit! The drone's stability is being affected! The wind above is now at level 11! The drone's battery is draining too much! Should we return?"

The team member operating the drone, seeing the screen shaking intermittently, immediately asked Shi Quan a question.

Just as Shi Quan was about to suggest that the drone return, Lu Yuan, who was standing nearby, urgently asked, "Can it still fly?"

"This... should be possible..."

"Then keep flying! Fly to the exit and see if you can find a place to land!"

The team member nodded, then continued to maneuver the drone upwards.

Lu Yuan's eyes were fixed on the area above.

The drone has now reached the sixth protective layer, but it is completely covered by ice, making it impossible to see the exit. Through the drone's camera, Lu Yuan can see that the surface of the circular exit pit is covered with thick frost, making it impossible to climb up.

At this moment, the brightness above increased even more. However, because the entire pit was too deep and there was a thin layer of ice mist above, it was impossible to see the situation above clearly. But Lu Yuan had a vague feeling that the Earth had now regained sunlight.

Although we don't know where Earth is now, it feels like it's near a star. However, because of the distance, the temperature on Earth is starting to drop.

Suddenly, the screen went completely white, and nothing could be seen. Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked up.

The intense, blinding light shone down, almost blinding people. Shi Quan, who was standing next to Lu Yuan, immediately handed him a pair of sunglasses.

"Mr. Lu, you should be able to see clearly if you wear sunglasses!"

So Lu Yuan put on sunglasses and looked up, but he still couldn't see clearly.

Shi Quan handed over his binoculars again: "Why don't you try using the binoculars? I've already observed it before; you can't see anything up there, just a thick layer of clouds!"

Lu Yuan was taken aback: "You can see the clouds?"

"Yes! Very thick clouds, but we can't analyze what's going on! We also can't determine the height of the clouds!"

"All right!"

Lu Yuan sighed, then looked up through his binoculars. The sky outside the exit was gloomy, like the dark clouds of July. Lu Yuan could even see streaks of light flashing through the clouds from time to time, and lightning flickered back and forth in the clouds.

As the team members operating the drone tried their best to increase its altitude, the screen of the control computer suddenly flashed and went completely black.

"What happened?"

A hint of regret appeared on the team member's face: "Sigh! It almost flew out! But it was still blown by the wind and crashed into the pit wall! The wind up there was just too strong! The drone was completely out of control!"

"Okay! So does that mean the drones are finished now?"

The team member operating the drone looked up at the sky, a hint of regret in his eyes: "It should be! Let's see if we can find the wreckage of the drone later!"

Shi Quan looked at Lu Yuan, thought for a moment, and said, "Mr. Lu, should we build a staircase on the pit wall now?"

Lu Yuan waved his hand: "No need! I'll go up by myself! You guys just follow me!"

"Hmm? You're planning to let them enter the dimensional space?"

“That’s right! After all, there are over a million people here. If we wanted them all to leave, it would take forever! Besides, the wind is too strong here. Ordinary people simply can’t climb up. There’s no need to do this if there are too many casualties! I’ve already made arrangements for Zhou Tong!”

"Okay! So how do you plan to get up there?"

Lu Yuan reached around his neck and pulled out his dimensional crystal necklace: "Use a drone to carry the necklace up, then I'll take the people with me. But we still need to leave a few reliable people down there to operate the drone! It would be best to prepare some ropes as well, so that I can take you all away once I'm up there!"
