"The teleportation decoration you mentioned is definitely made of metal, right?" Wei Shishi asked Xu Ying directly when she saw the two women coming.
"That should be it..."
"What do you mean by 'should'?" Wei Shishi immediately frowned, "You don't know either?"
"I know! I was a metal pillar back then, but... I don't know if it's still the same now." Xu Ying looked around at the people who were exploring. "If it hasn't changed much since I was there, then it should be made of metal."
Wei Shishi nodded slightly, then looked at Li Wenxi, who was looking around. "Li Wenxi, you can find metal ores, but you can't find finished metal tools?"
"Not that I can't." Li Wenxi continued to observe his surroundings. "The locations of metal minerals are relatively clearer, while the perception of finished metals is much weaker. Perhaps they don't want me to mistake finished metals for mineral resources. However, I can still sense them, albeit a bit blurry."
"Oh?" Xu Ying looked at Li Wenxi, surprised. "Sister-in-law, your ability can also sense finished metal products? I didn't even know..."
"Yeah, but..." Li Wenxi stopped looking around and shook his head. "At least I can't sense any of those giant metal pillars you mentioned. If they were really that big and close to the ground, I wouldn't have been able to miss them."
"Let's do a thorough search first," Wei Shishi said. "Our perception is vague, so it can't be considered accurate. I must get a clear answer to what Xu Ying said."
"You seem... very concerned about this?" Xu Ying looked at her and asked, "I was actually worried about what I would do if you thought I was talking nonsense and ignored me. I didn't expect you didn't even doubt it."
Wei Shishi's expression changed slightly.
"Do you... already have some clues?" Xu Ying and Wei Shishi looked at each other face to face. "Did you discover something before?"
Xu Ying just told Wei Shishi a hypothesis. Is it necessary to call so many people to dig deep into the ground when everyone is sleeping?
Those teams just now
The staff members all looked a little listless, obviously having been woken up from their sleep.
She took it so seriously, she must have thought of something and felt that what Xu Ying said was possible, so she wanted to verify it so urgently.
"...Let's verify the authenticity of what you said first."
Xu Ying came close to her: "Is it related to your parents... I was wrong, don't look at me like that, it's scary..."
Seeing the coldness in Wei Shishi's eyes, Xu Ying immediately raised her hands in surrender and took two steps back. Finally, she said, "This matter concerns the fate of all mankind. I hope you can think it through and it's best not to hide anything."
Wei Shishi didn't say anything.
Time passed minute by minute. About half an hour later, hundreds of team members completed their tasks and gathered again.
No findings were made.
"It seems that your guess is not true." Wei Shishi looked at Xu Ying, and her expression became much more relaxed.
"...Are you sure there are no omissions in your detection?" Xu Ying frowned.
"Although our Wei family isn't specialized in resource collection, the tools we have are capable of detecting metal approximately ten meters below the surface. To avoid any omissions, I had them survey this area three times."
Xu Ying had just tried that detection tool and it was indeed effective.
"If that's the case... then maybe I really am mistaken?" Xu Ying asked doubtfully, "But... if it's not a teleportation device, then what's going on with this contaminated area? Could it be mutant creatures?"
As she spoke, she looked at Li Wenxi, who had been silent, and asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
At this moment, Li Wenxi indeed looked up at the dome of the underground world.
"Is there something up there... Ah!" Xu Ying clapped her hands. "Right above here, it's near the mining site!"
Wei Shishi also looked up.
At this moment, on the dome directly above, countless crystal minerals emitting a bright white light were arranged in a disorderly manner.
It looks no different from other areas.
But this place is indeed very close to the mining spot that Li Wenxi pointed out!
Very close!
"It's the mining site," Li Wenxi said thoughtfully. "The mining site on the dome is a whole area, occupying a large area. And it's right above here, near the edge of the mining area."
"Tell me, is it possible... that the teleportation device you mentioned isn't underground, but somewhere..."
Li Wenxi looked at the two women and pointed upwards: "In the sky?"
"...It's very likely!" Xu Ying immediately gave a clear answer, "It's even more likely than underground!"
"Why?" Wei Shishi turned her head and asked her.
"Because this is already an underground world, there's already a barrier separating it from the surface." Xu Ying pointed at the dome. "If we bury the transmission device underground in this underground world, then the transmission device might... have poor reception."
"But if it's embedded in the dome... perhaps that could solve these problems." Xu Ying looked up again, squinting slightly at the dome two or three thousand meters away. "After all... your dome is their ground."
"I just had that thought." Li Wenxi nodded, then raised her doubts, "But if that's the case, how do we explain the contaminated soil?"
Can the teleportation device in the dome also pollute the soil below?
