Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

The mini aircraft easily bypassed everyone's sight. Due to its small size, it was more flexible and faster than a drone when flying, and could even reach a speed of thirty kilometers per hour.

After flying in a straight line for five or six hundred meters, they finally saw several motorcycles in front. Several members of the guard team were B-level psychics, and they also belonged to the third team where Chen Ruhai was. The aircraft did not dare to get too close, and could only shoot downwards from a distance of about twenty meters and always maintained at an altitude of about thirty meters.

The camera suddenly zoomed in at this moment, and we saw two guards running rapidly in a certain direction. It turned out that there were two people squatting in a crevice of a rock somewhere in front. The two men huddled together, and when they saw the guards, they stood up and danced with excitement. The other one held his head and sobbed on the ground. Due to the distance, we could only see the last two guards putting their arms around the shoulders and taking one of the seemingly injured people away. Although the other one could still walk by himself, he was obviously exhausted and was staggering when he walked.

Liao Yunyun stared at her phone and asked in a low voice, "Who are these two people? Do you know them?"

The interview team has a list of people who disappeared in the underground city today, but Liao Yunyun does not know these people.

At this time, the drone guy said "Huh", and then whispered: "This person seems to be Chen Fangming, the son of the deputy director of the hydropower plant, and also a supernatural person. I don't know the other one."

Perhaps sensing the surprised looks from others, he could only explain awkwardly: "They live in the same neighborhood as me, and they live just downstairs from me, so we bump into each other often."

"So you are a rich second generation. No wonder you changed your mobile phone and got your own laptop. You are great. You hid it well." The photographer patted him on the shoulder and couldn't help teasing.

The drone guy didn't seem to want to be labeled as a "rich second generation" or "the son of a powerful family". He curled his lips in dissatisfaction and said, "I didn't rely on my family's connections to get this job. I got in completely on my own. There were more than 300 people at the time, but the station only wanted two. I won based on my own strength."

"I know, I know. Please continue to operate the aircraft. By the way, can your aircraft go deeper?" Liao Yunyun asked curiously.

The drone guy was startled and raised his head and asked quickly, "Shouldn't we just follow the guards back? Why do we have to go deeper?"

The recorder girl couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "You're so stupid. Just think about it. If we can capture some useful footage in a dangerous area that even the guards don't dare to enter, it will cause a huge sensation. The station director might even give us a big red envelope."

"But won't the base suppress the news? Aren't we operating in violation of regulations?" The drone guy was still a little worried. After all, Chen Ruhai had repeatedly warned him not to film too much content of the underground city.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. We didn't sign a confidentiality agreement anyway. Besides, as journalists, we should let more citizens know the truth. Also, the station director is not as simple as you think. He was transferred here from Kyoto to work, and he has a big boss in Kyoto behind him. Secondly, even if the station wants to hold someone accountable, it won't have the time. You know, the pressure of public opinion is the greatest in any era and environment." The recorder girl began to analyze the pros and cons. It must be said that she did a good job of breaking down the interests involved.

The photographer next to him also advised: "Xiao Gu is right. We can't take the risk of turning a bicycle into a motorcycle and come down here to record all this. Besides, aren't you curious about what's in the danger zone?"

These words really hit the heart of the drone guy. He hesitated for a while and finally said with gritted teeth: "Okay, I'll do it. Anyway, I'm not the only one to take the blame..." He muttered to himself, and the others couldn't help laughing when they saw his behavior.

The aircraft did not return with the exploration team, but continued to move forward. After flying about a thousand meters, they found that the originally narrow corridor suddenly became wider, and the stone walls on both sides gradually expanded to the left and right. After flying about fifteen hundred meters, they saw the high-voltage power grid and a large sign with the words "No Entry and Exit" written on it.

The entire high-voltage power grid is about fifteen or sixteen meters high. Normally, unless it is a mutant beast that can fly, it is impossible to crawl along the high-voltage power grid and pass over this end.

However, for an aircraft that can fly at a maximum altitude of thirty meters, this is not a problem at all. The aircraft easily crossed the high-voltage power grid and continued to go deeper. At this time, the connector of the aircraft showed that it had been flying for twelve minutes and the flight distance was about 2500 meters. The range where the aircraft is now located is the most dangerous black area, which is also the most dangerous place in the dungeon. Even the guards did not go too deep into this area.

The entire interview team was on edge at this moment, focusing all their attention on the real-time images sent back by the aircraft. In addition to the equally dark environment, Liao Yunyun also discovered that there were all kinds of stalactites throughout the place, and there were mutant bats roosting on the stone walls. These mutant bats, which were at least half a meter long, hung upside down on the stalactites, their blood-red eyes quietly watching everything in the darkness.

Perhaps because the aircraft was not a living thing, the mutant bats did not attack it.

At this time, the road surface began to become rugged and uneven, and there were no traces of excavation on the ground. There should have been no human intervention from here. There were many protruding sharp stones or many dents on the ground. Because there were no wall lamps installed nearby, the night function of the aircraft was actively sensed and turned on at this time. From the light green screen, one could occasionally glimpse that the wall was covered with a very thin layer of frost.

"The temperature here should be very low, maybe only around one or two degrees." Liao Yunyun clasped her arms around her chest and calmly analyzed the surrounding environment.

The recorder girl also echoed while writing something in her notebook: "Bats usually choose warm and humid places to breed. Although the environment here is humid, it is extremely cold. Could it be that they choose to live here because of their mutability?"

The photographer said, "There is another possibility. There is something here that attracts mutant bats and forces them to stay."

Just as the others showed doubtful looks on their faces, the photographer smiled and said, "I once attended a lecture on mutant animals at the base. It mentioned that mutant animals have a characteristic that they will instinctively move closer to places with large energy sources."

The drone guy continued to operate the aircraft, but suddenly a scene flashed on the stone wall and made him exclaim in surprise: "Look, what is that?"

The stone wall was covered with a light pink crystalline substance. The drone operator stopped the aircraft at the edge of a stone wall and took a close-up photo. The pink lens was more like a crystal, almost transparent in form but emitting a layer of cold pink light in the dark.

"Could it be some kind of mineral that contains energy?"

The photographer recalled what he had learned in that lecture. Generally speaking, the more mutant animals gather, the more energy ore there will be. This kind of ore is no different from ordinary ore to humans, but it is a powerful energy body to mutant animals. After long-term consumption, it can even achieve early evolution or be transformed into a purer crystal nucleus in the body. But conversely, the denser the energy ore, the more mutant beasts there are.

Everyone has only heard a little about energy ore. The base has also popularized some information about energy ore before. However, there are very few places in Jiangcheng that have energy ore. It seems that the further north you go, the richer the energy ore is. Canghai City and Lingdong City, where the demon species have appeared before, are places where the temperature can reach minus 34 degrees Celsius in winter. When the extreme cold hit before, the temperature there even dropped to minus 60 or 70 degrees Celsius.

The aircraft slowed down and lowered its altitude to about seven or eight meters above the ground. It continued to move along the side of the stone wall. After flying for about two hundred meters, the stone wall was covered with this pink energy ore. This scale even exceeded the energy ore within a fifty-meter range of the eastern cave announced by Canghai City.

The drone guy's breathing became rapid, and his words gradually stuttered: "There are so many energy ores here, can't there really be..."

"No, if there was, a beast tide would have broken out in the base long ago. The dungeon has been built for more than two years, and we haven't heard of a large-scale beast tide during this period." The recorder girl firmly denied the drone boy's guess, but compared to her firm tone, there was fear on her face.

At this time, Liao Yunyun did not say anything. Her attention was completely attracted by the hanging stalactites that the aircraft had accidentally photographed just now.

At first I thought it was a giant mutant bat. After all, that "thing" was several times larger than the half-meter mutant bat before. Under the dim camera, the aircraft flew past it again. At this time, the distance between the two was only three or four meters. The thing seemed to hear the slight vibration sound from the aircraft, and its eyelids suddenly opened. A pair of turbid yellow-brown eyes that looked particularly creepy in the dark appeared on the screen without warning.

"Demon species!" Liao Yunyun gritted her teeth and blurted out these words.

Others instantly got goosebumps. It was not just because they were frightened by the appearance of the demon species, but because the further the aircraft moved forward, the more they saw that there were many demon species living on the stone walls near the stalactites, at least fifty or sixty, or even more...

It is known that one demon species is enough to fight an A-level psychic alone. If there is a large group of demon species, will the base have the spare capacity to suppress such a large number of demon species? You should know that the first time demon species appeared in Canghai was a year ago. There were a total of seven demon species at that time. The leader of the suppression was the eleventh-ranked S-level psychic in China. The team carrying out the mission consisted of a total of 20 psychics, including three S-level psychics, and the rest were all A-level psychics from the Hunter Association or the Guard Team.

That mission was not a complete success, because they only repelled those demons and made them return to the frozen forest that was not suitable for human habitation, but they were unable to hunt down any of the demons because the combined power of the seven demons was too strong. In addition, these creatures had advanced command. Not only could they distinguish between primary and secondary attacks like humans, they even had a leader who would fight according to the leader's instructions.

“This, this can’t be real…” The drone guy gasped, obviously unable to believe what he saw.

Liao Yunyun frowned and whispered, "Let the aircraft withdraw. There's no need to go any deeper."

At this time, the aircraft was already in an open area where there were no stalactites or energy ores. However, from the pictures just seen, both the mutant bats and the demon species relied on energy ores, and their living place was no more than 500 meters away from the ores.

Just as the aircraft turned around and was about to return, a large black hand suddenly appeared in the picture, and one could even clearly see its sharp and long nails.

This scene scared everyone so much that the drone girl couldn't help but let out a low cry, as if the pair of dark and ugly hands were reaching out towards her.

"Zi la la"

After a noisy electric sound, the entire screen turned black.

The drone guy almost subconsciously shouted "Fuck!" and then cried, "No way, my aircraft, I bought it with 30,000 points..."

This aircraft was most likely smashed to pieces by the demon species.

"This...it can be considered a 'sacrifice' at work. I'll ask the station manager if it can be reimbursed." Although the possibility is slim, the photographer could only smile bitterly to comfort him.

On the other side, Liao Yunyun asked anxiously: "Did you record the scene just now?"

"No, no, I forgot." The drone guy answered somewhat embarrassedly.

This answer made Liao Yunyun speechless, but seeing that the other party had a sad face, he seemed to be still immersed in the blow of losing the aircraft.

"Let's not worry about the aircraft for now. Those things were so scary. Should we report the situation to Captain Chen?" The recorder's face was full of fear, and she couldn't help rubbing her arms. It was obvious that the scene just now scared her.

Liao Yunyun just shook her head: "No, if people knew that we secretly sent a flying vehicle into the restricted area, the guards would give us a hard time. I think I'll just report this to the station director. Whether he believes it or not is another matter. Anyway, there is no evidence now."

"There are so many demon species in the restricted area. Will these demon species break through the high-voltage power grid? After all, they have the ability to fly." After the drone guy recovered a little, he became worried about their safety again. He regretted entering the dungeon more and more. This job was simply high-risk and low-return, and they could become bait for mutant beasts at any time.

At this time, the sound of a motorcycle engine was heard not far away, and the previous exploration team was seen to have returned. The medical staff on one side quickly lifted the only two survivors onto stretchers.
