The hoverbus is very fast; what used to take at least an hour and a half to get out of the city gates now only takes 20 minutes.
The second-grade students were at the front of the procession, and after inspection, the city gates were opened wide.
The hoverbus took everyone for another ten miles before finally dropping them off.
The second-graders were more experienced and quickly headed towards their destination after getting off the bus.
The Sky Eye, which was recording the event, also flew away.
Losi and the others quickly planned their route and set off, about 20 kilometers away from their mission point.
Jill Newman's team followed behind, each team having a third eye.
Thirty minutes later, Jill Newman arrived at the mission area.
With the help of the exoskeleton, about ten minutes later, Losi and his group of five arrived at the mission area.
Apart from the undulating hills, there was no other living thing on the reddish-brown earth.
Many places are still frozen due to the continuous low temperatures, but this place shows no trace of ice and snow, making it seem completely out of place.
This place wasn't very friendly to Nicole, but luckily the group had done their research, and Nicole had brought several potted plants with her this time.
This place is very similar to where Losi first found the Source Crystal, but the situation here is even worse; there isn't even a single weed here.
The thought of radiation levels had already entered his mind.
Yellow 8.
This value is still within the activity period, but once 9 o'clock, the radiation here is very likely to exceed the red line.
It's only 6:30 now, and the radiation will rise in two and a half hours.
They need to find a simple shelter first.
Radiation imposes too many restrictions; otherwise, mutated creatures alone would not be able to withstand human attacks.
Each area had a shelter, and after confirming the location, the group continued their journey.
This area is roughly the size of a second-tier city, so finding something here takes some effort. Fortunately, there were no obstructions, so I found it while patrolling.
The makeshift shelter, constructed of sheet metal and wood, stood out prominently in the open space. It was only four meters high and could only accommodate 15 warriors equipped with exoskeletons.
If it only accommodates five people, the area will feel a bit empty.
After identifying a safe haven, the five split into two teams to patrol the surrounding area, and were to contact the authorities immediately if they discovered any mutated creatures.
But the barren land stretched as far as the eye could see, and there were hardly any animals to be seen.
"The mutated creatures will probably only emerge after our activity period has ended. There are no plants or trees here, so the mutated creatures are most likely underground."
"If any suspicious holes appear in the ground, notify us immediately. That's all." Tuka's voice sounded from the four sensors.
"Understood," the four replied immediately.
Losi and Jiu Nai are on the same team.
Qin Dinglan, Nicole, and Tuka formed a team, while Tianyan, which only had one member, joined the smaller team with more members.
Losi suggested another possibility: "This place is frequently cleared out, so it's possible there are no native inhabitants here, and the mutated creatures came from other areas."
This area borders part of the second-year Class A area; the mutated creatures from their area may have been frightened and fled here.
Nicole: "It's possible. Anyway, we're prepared for both scenarios."
Until nine o'clock in the morning, the five people did not notice anything unusual.
The sun was shining brightly, yet there was no warmth at all, as if the world were an illusion.
The group returned to the shelter to wait for the high radiation levels to pass.
Nicole's team remained on alert, without removing their exoskeletons.
After removing their exoskeletons, Luo Xi and Jiu Nai, who were only wearing sportswear, immediately felt a chill from the cold and hurriedly put on their pants and jackets.
He then took out nutritional supplements and water from his bag to replenish his energy.
Tuka untied the tent from the exoskeleton and placed it on the ground. Losi and his team rested during the day, while his team rested at night.
The two thanked them without any pretense; the tent was compressed, and it would inflate immediately once the buttons were opened and it was placed on the ground.
The tent is large enough to sleep five people comfortably, and there are sleeping bags inside, so it won't be cold.
Perhaps out of trust, Kunai fell asleep quickly.
Losi closed her eyes but couldn't sleep, so she opened her ears to listen to the sounds around her.
She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally felt a little sleepy. But just as she fell asleep, a strange, cold female voice rang in her mind.
"I am Lu Yuan from Class A of Grade 2. There is a C-level mutated creature fleeing southwest in Area 1, which is the area our team is responsible for."
It is highly likely that the route will pass through areas 7, 8, 9, and 10. Students in these areas should take precautions, and students in other areas should also pay attention to safety.
This Class C mutated creature is a mutated vulture, four times the size of a normal vulture, with a wingspan of approximately 4 meters, capable of easily lifting two to three hundred kilograms. Its abilities are currently unknown, but it is extremely fast. If you need assistance, you can call for help within the designated area. End.
It was coming from the regional communication. Losi suddenly opened her eyes. Their assigned area was number 8.
"Received." Four different voices rang out in the regional communication, one of which was Nicole's.
Losi couldn't sleep anymore; she checked the time and only two hours had passed. The radiation concentration in the shelter was now Yellow 9, making even breathing somewhat uncomfortable.
She had learned the definition of radiation; yellow and red were a chasm, and yellow 9 was not like yellow 2, which was twice the increase of yellow 1.
Yellow 9 contains approximately six Yellow 8s, so the radiation here is definitely equivalent to that of two Yellow 8s.
The last record here was Yellow 8, but the radiation level has increased...
Jiu Nai also heard Lu Yuan's voice. She also decided not to sleep anymore. The two quickly got up, packed their things, and returned to the exoskeleton.
Nicole and the others didn't try to persuade them to continue sleeping. They were likely about to conduct their first containment of a mutated creature, and since it was a C-level creature whose background was still unclear, they had to be on high alert.
Losi quickly measured the radiation in the unobstructed environment and found it to be at Red 1 and very close to Red 2.
If the mutated vultures come at this time, should they fight or not?
Under the high radiation levels of Red 1 and Red 2 exoskeletons, they cannot stay outside for more than 10 minutes, even with the exoskeleton providing some degree of radiation protection.
If a human body is exposed to it, it should not remain inside for more than one minute. Otherwise, after one minute, the skin will crack and the body will experience symptoms similar to an allergic reaction. If it remains inside for another minute, irreversible damage will occur to various bodily functions.
You can say goodbye to this world in ten minutes.
Losi used an exoskeleton to mount an oversized sniper rifle, and for some reason, she had a feeling that the mutated vultures would come to her.
It might be a misconception that the teacher always feels like they'll call on me during class.
As the name suggests, every time the teacher calls roll, you feel like you'll be the one who gets called. If you're right once out of five times, you'll think your intuition is incredibly accurate.
It's actually just based on probability, and they selectively forget the times when the name wasn't called.
Losi hoped it was just her imagination, but as the regional communication voice rang out again, her prediction came true.
