Chapter 36 The Green and White Boundary! The Drone's Success! (Please read on, add to your favorites, and vote!)

On the screen, as the drone flew closer and the camera zoomed in, the almost entirely white, desolate world was abruptly cut off by another color...

It was a verdant forest interspersed with a thin layer of white snow.

This clearly defined boundary line is too conspicuous, like a natural chasm casually drawn by a god.

At one end of the boundary was the region they were in—a snow-covered forest landscape, like a frozen hell where nothing existed.

On the other side—there was an endless primeval forest covered with a thin layer of snow!
As the real-time scene from dozens of kilometers away was projected onto the main screen, the entire command center fell into a deathly silence.

When everyone saw all this, their eyes widened, their faces filled with disbelief.

The drone pilot adjusted the infrared observation mode and discovered many infrared hotspots of animals in the forest within the thermal imaging image.

As the drone ascends, countless life-giving heat sources surge within it, converging into a dazzling river of light, running, chasing, hunting...

It was so vibrant it was dazzling.

"Holy crap (●￣()￣●)……Where…where is this?! The landscape looks completely different, it doesn't make any sense at all?"

"The forest vegetation on both sides of the dividing line is similar, so some unknown influence must have interfered with the snowstorm!"

"Based on color, the icy world is associated with necromancy, while the green forest should be associated with nature magic, right?"

"There's too little intelligence!"

"This is a major discovery! Should we tell Commander Su?"

The soldier in charge of monitoring clung to the control panel, his wide eyes bloodshot: "This is probably another groundbreaking discovery that will shock the scientific community."

The drone operator's voice suddenly rose, filled with surprise: "Report, we've found the wolf pack!"

The pilot quickly switched to the secondary screen and optically magnified the images of the areas with the densest heat source signals.

At the edge of the forest, in a huge, leeward mountain hollow, hundreds of large, robust wolves were resting and playing.

They looked so at ease, so content.

The number of wolves there was almost the same as the pack that hunted animals yesterday, and the place they were staying must have been the wolf den!
"Forget about the wolf pack for now. Keep the drone high, adjust the camera, and watch this dividing line. I want to see how far it extends!"

As the drone's field of vision rose higher and higher, the line dividing the world into green and white seemed to have no end, stretching infinitely to both sides along the horizon until it was blocked by the hazy snow and mountains.

The only sound in the command center was heavy breathing.

"The laser detection range has a clearly defined boundary of at least forty kilometers, and there are very few mountains blocking the wind and snow in between, which completely contradicts any environmental logic we know!"

"It's like two different worlds being forcibly pieced together!"

"Hello, battalion commander!"

Everyone immediately looked behind them and discovered that Li Jingze had unknowingly arrived there.

He had just finished breakfast and strode in, his eyes immediately drawn to the image on the main screen.

With just one glance, the seasoned battalion commander realized what the scene meant.

"Commander Su seems quite tired, let's not disturb him for now."

The two have just completed their duties and handover.

Li Jingze's voice was deep and powerful, instantly giving the group of people who had made a major discovery a sense of support.

"Good!" With a leader in mind, the group naturally wouldn't bother their superiors.

"The others continue to gather information from within the forest," Li Jingze continued to instruct.

Everyone immediately understood and began to get busy.

"Yes!"

Li Jingze walked to the map, his eyes sharp as knives, and his fingertips pressed heavily on the cold screen.

"No wonder we don't see any living creatures in many places here. It turns out they don't live on the ice fields, but in that forest." "Have you estimated the wolf pack's movements? That should be the route we explore in the future."

"It's all collected! But, Battalion Commander, the snowstorm was too severe before, and we only followed half the distance yesterday. We're still not sure if the wolf pack's path is absolutely safe."

"Wolves are very intelligent animals. They can find each other's wolf trails, which can reduce the danger of our exploration."

Li Jing rubbed his temples, his gaze sweeping over every soldier present, his voice resolute: "Comrades, your understanding of this world is still stuck in the modern world, which is wrong. From this moment on, we must view everything in this other world with a materialistic mindset."

"We must patiently collect data on the situation at the forest boundaries and carefully verify everything!"

"Yes!"

"Keep gathering intelligence, archive and analyze all the data. I believe those scientists will go crazy for it."

"Also, get the reconnaissance team ready! I think Commander Su will also want to know about the special boundary after he wakes up... Drones, continue... Hey, what's wrong with the drones?"

Li Jingze was about to speak when he suddenly saw the footage projected by the drone camera begin to shake violently.

Then an unfamiliar white shadow appeared on the big screen, and subsequently the pufferfish drone used for monitoring fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Everyone: "..."

"What kind of animal attacked such a large drone?"

"It looks like an eagle from another world!"

"Replay the scene from just now!"

The pilot quickly replayed the footage of the drone before it crashed.

As frame after frame of footage was replayed, the audience roughly identified the culprit that destroyed the drone.

That should be an otherworldly eagle with a wingspan of at least 5 meters, snow-white feathers, and a slender body.

A snow-white eagle launched an attack from the sky, only to be splattered with blood and feathers by the propeller blades of a pufferfish-shaped drone, ultimately perishing together with the eagle.

After watching it carefully several times, Li Jingze revealed a playful expression.

"Gentlemen, this can be considered our first animal kill in this other world!"

"That feathered bird is no match for the scientific instruments carried by the pufferfish!"

The A5 helicopter drone is a newly deployed piece of equipment, and it is not expensive, with a purchase price of just over 160,000 yuan.

However, it carried deliberately modified scientific reconnaissance equipment, image transmission, laser communication links, synthetic aperture radar, and optical video recording equipment, all of which were very valuable.

These scientific instruments are worth far more than a million!

"What was the altitude of the pufferfish drone before it crashed?"

"2100 meters!"

"Next time, let's use medium to large-sized drones!"

Small and medium-sized drones have low payloads, carry few instruments, and have limited altitude capabilities. They are easily attacked!
The Wing Loong and Rainbow drones in the military are undergoing expedited upgrades, and preparations for building a military aircraft runway have already begun at the camp.

Even in severe snowy weather with strong electromagnetic interference, the drone will be able to fly hundreds of kilometers without being affected.

After Su Mingjin rested for an hour, she went to the operations command center and saw Li Jingze directing the drones to collect data.

Liu Chang, Su Mingjin's assistant, whispered, "President Su, the wolf pack's dens have been collected. We've made quite a few discoveries. Here's the information."

Su Mingjin was slightly taken aback when she saw that a drone had been lost in just a few hours.

Upon seeing that the culprit was a white eagle that had descended from the sky to launch the attack, they were both amused and exasperated.

Upon seeing the vast amount of data collected, and that clearly defined forest area, his pupils dilated instantly…
