Chapter 245 Lost Contact
Ning Xuan looked at the dark and shadowy forest and checked the locator again to confirm that the location shown on the locator was indeed this one. Her face turned solemn.
"Master, don't worry, I'll go in and check it out first." Di Youlin volunteered.
"Wait a moment." Looking at the dark forest ahead, Ning Xuan felt vaguely nervous.
Human beings' fear of the unknown darkness is ingrained in their bones.
"Ms. Ning, my companion spirit is not abnormally agitated. In the short term, the area ahead should not have any major problems." Zhang Nan's chinchilla had been wandering at the edge of the dark forest. The chinchilla was leisurely and at ease, and did not seem to sense any crisis.
They chose this area to enter because it was at the outermost edge of the forest.
Zhang Nan's words slightly eased the tense atmosphere in the team.
"Wang Teng, Wang Yue, you control the detective robot into the forest first and see if you can capture any valuable information." Ning Xuan instructed Wang Teng and others.
Yun Han and his team not only purchased related accessories for assembling mechanical vehicles and supporting weapons in Safety Zone No. 13, but also bought many precision mechanical original parts and some damaged and discarded detection equipment. Wang Teng and Wang Yue used these parts and discarded equipment to make many useful instruments.
The detective robot is the masterpiece of the two, with a low-light camera installed on its head.
"Okay." The two agreed and controlled the detective robot to enter the dark forest area. The others gathered around and stared at the screen next to them.
"What can be in the forest? It must be mostly trees. Even if there are some dark creatures, there is nothing to be afraid of. Master, you are just too cautious." According to Di Youlin's opinion, they should go in directly.
Di Youlin, Yun Han, Qinghe and others are all powerful figures in the interstellar battlefield. They are quite dissatisfied with Ning Xuan's cautious style.
At their level, they have some keen intuition about danger. Although this forest is a bit strange, they don't feel too strong a sense of crisis.
However, as Ning Xuan was their lord or master, they could only obey her arrangements.
"Xuanxuan, look, there are images coming back." Tang Xue pointed at the screen connected to the robot and shouted in surprise.
"The image is not clear, and what kind of tree is this? Why do these trees look almost the same in height and thickness?" Tang Xue lamented.
The images sent back by the robot were taken using a self-contained low-light camera, which can only show the general outline of the object, but not its actual appearance.
"I don't know, let's wait and see." Ning Xuan said.
The dark forest covers a very large area. However, it can be seen from the sky that not all areas within the dark forest are shrouded in darkness.
Inside the dark forest, there are large normal areas that are not shrouded in darkness.
However, the edge areas of the forest are all shrouded in darkness. If you want to get to the normal area inside, you must pass through the dark area.
Of course, they had also tried to enter from the direction above the forest, but that simply didn't work. There was a special magnetic field above this area. They could fly at an altitude of about three thousand meters, but not any lower. During the first exploration yesterday, Di Youlin almost fell from a high altitude.
"Hey, why did the screen suddenly go black?" Tang Xue exclaimed.
"Ms. Ning, the detection robot has lost contact." Wang Teng looked at the remote control in his hand and reported.
"There wasn't anything special on the screen just now. How come it suddenly lost contact?" Chen Nan asked puzzled.
"We still have a few detection robots. Send out another one and change the route this time." Ning Xuan ordered.
"Yes." Wang Teng once again controlled a new detection robot and entered the dark forest.
Di Youlin was chewing a blade of grass somewhat boredly, not interested in the movements of the detection robot.
Although Yun Han and Qing He also felt that Ning Xuan's cautious probing here was a waste of time, they still stood around and watched with serious expressions.
Three detection robots were released one after another, taking three different routes. As a result, all three robots lost contact very quickly.
"Ms. Ning, this is the pattern I found based on the distance the robot traveled when it lost contact. According to my speculation, the places where the robot lost contact can be connected into a line." Wang Teng drew three routes and the relationship between the straight line on paper.
"If we want to continue exploring, it is best to first find out if there is any abnormality near this line so that we can cut off our connection with the detection robot." Wang Teng said.
"Emperor Youlin." Ning Xuan called out.
"Master." When Di Youlin heard Ning Xuan calling him, he quickly spat out the grass in his mouth and walked over.
"You go with Zhang Nan and Min Wu to check this line and see if there is anything abnormal nearby. Report back immediately after finding out what's going on. Don't act rashly." Ning Xuan instructed him.
"Are we finally going in? Master, don't worry, I will complete the task." Di Youlin looked at Yun Han and others proudly. Although Ning Xuan did not agree to accept him, as long as Ning Xuan got used to using him, he would definitely have a chance.
"Wait, be prepared before going in. This pair of night vision goggles can be adjusted into multiple modes and will automatically adjust according to the environment. Put them on." Ning Xuan took out three pairs of glasses from the space ring and handed them to the three people.
"Tie these three ropes on your hands to prevent you from getting lost and unable to find the way back. If you really can't find the way back, just follow the ropes back." Ning Xuan took out three bundles of ropes from the space ring. The ropes were about three thousand meters long, and the line to be explored was only five or six hundred meters away from the outside.
The reason why Ning Xuan was worried that they would get lost was because the magnetic field in this forest was abnormal.
The reason why we chose Di Youlin, Zhang Nan and Min Wu is because one of them has high combat power, one is highly vigilant in the face of danger, and the other can flash back in case of emergencies.
Di Youlin looked at the bundle of rope with disdain and was unwilling to accept it. Ning Xuan tied one end of the rope around her wrist. When Di Youlin saw Ning Xuan's action, his eyes lit up and he immediately snatched the rope and quickly tied it around his wrist.
"If the rope is pulled tight, remember to go back. I'm not as strong as you. Don't pull me in. Do you hear me?" Ning Xuan instructed Di Youlin.
Seeing that Ning Xuan and himself were tied to the same rope, Di Youlin's heart beat faster. After listening to Ning Xuan's words, he nodded vigorously, "I heard you. No matter what happens, I will follow the direction you guide and come back to you." Di Youlin said earnestly.
