Chapter 409 The Little Rascal in the Interstellar Junkyard 10
Planet F-35.
The perimeter of the landfill needs to be cleaned regularly by administrators because most of the dumped garbage is perishable and can easily breed viruses if left untreated.
The further in you go, the more durable the types of garbage become, and the more difficult it is to process them, far exceeding the budget that Chaos Star can afford.
Most of them are the remains and bones of broken machinery, medicines, and various equipment.
In higher education institutions, these items need to be dismantled and melted down in specialized factories. If the processing volume is large enough, they have greater recycling value.
Therefore,
Despite believing he had made ample preparations, he appeared somewhat bewildered upon entering the unknown team on Chaotic Star for the first time.
Some members even displayed staring eyes that were out of place with a sophisticated air.
The terrain deep inside the landfill was beyond what they had been given on the construction map.
Not only are there structures as tall as small mountains, but there are also hollowed-out structures that are completely invisible from a height. The more detailed and precise the types of data an instrument can detect, the narrower its radiation range.
The frequent appearance of colored lights, especially those unrelated to the target, increases the workload.
After arriving at the F-35, the squad simply waited, setting a boring objective that had nothing to do with excitement, without communicating with the Three Strange Hunters who had searched the junkyard multiple times beforehand.
If the team can obtain and categorize the latest regional information in advance, they will not waste the aircraft's power communicating invalid information over garbage time and time again, thus slowing down their progress.
I reckon they won't even be able to finish searching the whole area before they have to head back to their own starship's dedicated charging station at the shipyard.
Besides,
They had barely started when Mr. Xi, the president of the Water Mirror Association, rushed over after receiving the news.
The pharmaceutical company's team followed closely behind. Although the terms of cooperation were not finalized, the intentions were very good.
Let's get on the train first and buy the ticket later!
If someone dies, it will all be for nothing.
At present, the entire landfill is chaotic yet orderly. Experienced hunters mingle among them, leading the two small teams that came later across pits that Xia Youmi had previously escaped with. The traps are so numerous and varied, and the animals involved are updated so frequently, that Xia Youmi has to consult annual data records to accurately identify them.
Not to mention the hunter teams that always get tricked.
They treated every pitfall as a lesson, with both reverence and humor.
This afternoon,
The three groups, consisting of dozens of teams, encountered each other countless times during their search, but did not immediately engage in combat, remaining silent with slightly awkward feelings.
It's unclear whether they were afraid of alerting the target or afraid of leaking clues and having someone else snatch them first.
However, the first team to enter was not incompetent, but rather careless. After realizing that the pharmaceutical company and Mizukage were leading the way, avoiding the entanglements they had painstakingly untangled, they quickly changed tactics.
One group followed the enemy's direction closely, another group quickly returned to the shipyard to change equipment, and the woman in the lead stayed behind to lead two people to roam the wilderness.
She was addressed as Miss Xu Mu, and appeared to be around thirty years old. Her eyes held a world-weary arrogance, suggesting a delicate nature, yet she seemed oblivious to the filth of the landfill. Her movements were precise, displaying an elite sophistication and elegance.
at first,
She seemed uninterested in her goals, working purely on instinct. However, after escaping several of Xia Youmibu's traps, she slowly became energized and, as if injected with stimulants, eagerly plunged deeper into the trap.
Her efficiency alone is equivalent to that of five people from the pharmaceutical factory.
However, due to their smooth entry into the game, they gradually began to trust the hunters' organization, only to suffer repeated setbacks in familiar pitfalls.
They were still complaining, "Why are the same old pitfalls still there even though the solutions have been updated?"
As evening approached, the disheveled group began to abandon the hunter.
The Water Mirror Association and the pharmaceutical factory followed the same path as Xu Mu's team, leaving a few elites as the main force for the search, while the rest focused on transporting and replenishing supplies, avoiding unnecessary losses in unknown or known areas.
As darkness fell, a group of people were left to keep watch, while the main force gradually withdrew.
Some began to adjust their strategies urgently, while others continued to hold meetings to solidify their cooperative relationships.
Xia Youmi seemed to be in a relatively relaxed state.
Her hiding place also served as an animal den, and she had already established good relationships with various indigenous groups. With cover, she could attack or defend as needed.
There are three directions from which you can move to the next stronghold.
Similarly, she proved the effectiveness of her homemade shielding device, even after using several "doubles." These were the species the other party saw after being detected by the live instrument.
Since no living creatures were found at the stronghold, there was no need to send out animals that could run and hide to take risks.
Xia Youmi went over to each of them, feeding them and stroking their fur. Some of the animals were even bigger than Xia Youmi, and their long fur completely covered her small body.
The outside world is turbulent and dangerous, but it also presents an opportunity.
In this world, non-human species that can survive are either indispensable and strictly protected by humans, or they can adapt to environments inaccessible to humans, or they have a certain degree of resistance to reagents and a high level of intelligence.
Those who can breathe a sigh of relief in the garbage dump mostly belong to the third category, possessing a value similar to that of lower-class people, kept in captivity, and having their organs harvested.
Therefore,
Most of them lack kidneys or other organs.
Along with the waste materials, they were dumped on the outskirts of the landfill awaiting disposal. However, if they could drag themselves out of the dangerous area and hide in the depths, there was a slim chance of survival.
The appearance of Xia Youmi and Niannian clearly increased their hopes.
They began to possess dignity, something that even the animals themselves were unaware of.
Even the living "stand-ins" for Xia Youmi were arranged as they considered it a matter of course. They simply couldn't understand why this person was unwilling to show them the evacuation route.
This minor impasse, stemming from mutual consideration, did not last long.
Xia Youmi couldn't refuse, so she agreed to let the large animals accompany them, since they couldn't escape being searched in the area without shielding anyway.
It's better to stay close to her; at least if we're discovered, she can speak up and ensure our safety.
Agile animals, on the other hand, are led astray by more intelligent and terrain-familiar creatures like dogs.
This isn't the first time they've acted this way, but this time, they're more confident and more stealthy.
We can't provoke them into firing, but we also can't let them get away with it.
Many team members were enraged. They had barely left the junkyard when local merchants, waiting on the perimeter, began peddling various animal traps and pesticides. They hadn't brought these from their advanced planet and assumed the local insect infestation would be treated locally.
Those hunters who had been cheated didn't warn them, and they were still able to get a share of the profits from the unscrupulous merchants.
When they actually used it, they found that it took up a lot of space and was completely useless. It was as if the animals had been marked and were being tricked into playing a trick on them.
Visibility is poor at night, and turning on the aircraft's lights not only consumes a lot of power but also makes it a large target.
Neither the pharmaceutical companies nor the Shuijing Association, which didn't have such a large budget, came; they just sent people to guard the area outside.
but,
Xu Mu, who had just taken off her ineffective protective gear and put on new equipment, arrived.
During her rest period, she bought all the information about traps from a veteran hunter. When she learned that the experience at night would be different, she became interested. She left behind communications and some subordinates to provide support, and returned to the core of the junkyard with only one trusted confidant.
And this time,
Xia Youmi was waiting for her.
