Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic-Chapter 271 - 142: Radiation Land, the Ghost Tribe Mining Source Core Crystals.

The screen lights up.

In sight is a desolate black-brown land, where no signs of life can be seen, only endless solitude.

Only the occasional roars and howls of the Radiation Beasts remind you that this Radiation Land is deceptively tranquil on the surface, with danger possibly appearing at any moment.

"So this is the environment in the Radiation Land. Compared to the Radiation Land, this Dead Silence Wilderness seems almost lively," Su Yu thought to himself.

At this moment.

Yu Ping’an appeared in the center of the screen; in the images recorded by the cavalry, Yu Ping’an’s condition was not good, with even a slight limp in his walk, and his Prosthetic Armor was damaged in several places.

The cavalry was following Yu Ping’an all the way.

By now, it was the third day since Yu Ping’an had entered the Radiation Land. Originally, there were twenty cavalry, but only seven remain, and even Yu Ping’an’s whole body prosthetics were covered in scars.

Yu Ping’an turned back to look at the seven remaining cavalry and sighed helplessly, "This Radiation Land is more dangerous than I imagined. The number of Radiation Beast herds encountered is too many."

"In the past two days, we’ve encountered different types of Radiation Beasts every day, with varying strengths and numbers. Most could be dealt with, but just yesterday, we faced a herd composed of hundreds of three-star Radiation Beasts. Although we finally used the Flame of Truth provided by the master to repel them, only seven cavalry remain, and the stock of the Flame of Truth is also running low..."

Yu Ping’an, as if leaving a message, said to the seven cavalry, "But fortunately, we haven’t encountered a too powerful Radiation Beast herd today. Now, we are very close to the Source Core Crystal’s mine."

Yu Ping’an continued forward with the remaining seven cavalry, moving cautiously, deeply afraid of encountering other Radiation Beasts in the Radiation Land.

Soon, a small hill appeared in front of Yu Ping’an, and according to the information left by Yu Ping’an’s mother, the mine containing the Source Core Crystal was not far beneath this small hill.

However, at this moment, through his modified prosthetics granting him enhanced hearing, Yu Ping’an heard mechanical rumbling noises coming from ahead.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

It sounded like some kind of mining tool operating at full speed.

And this mechanical rumbling sound was clearly not something a Radiation Beast would make.

At this moment, both Yu Ping’an in the footage and Su Yu watching were filled with doubt and suspicion.

"There are actually people in this Radiation Land? Moreover, they are actively mining Source Core Crystals?" Su Yu glanced at the piece of Source Core Crystal brought back by Yu Ping’an, which wasn’t of high purity, "It seems that the reason Yu Ping’an hasn’t returned is likely due to this unexpected event."

Su Yu continued watching patiently.

And in the footage, Yu Ping’an also seemed to have heightened his vigilance to the maximum upon discovering that there might be humans ahead.

Yu Ping’an left the cavalry in place and instructed them to remain in a dormant state, not to make any sounds.

He hurried forward alone, swiftly yet quietly advancing towards the small hill.

Soon, utilizing concealment capabilities provided by his prosthetics, Yu Ping’an reached the top of the hill. Then, he cautiously hid behind a rock, quietly peeking out half of his body.

He looked toward the place below the hill from where the mechanical rumbling was emanating.

Su Yu noticed that in the footage, after Yu Ping’an peeked out half of his body from behind the rock, he seemed to have seen something that caused his body to tremble uncontrollably, as if he was struggling to suppress inner emotions.

Su Yu was very curious at this scene.

"The cavalry left by Yu Ping’an at the foot of the hill could only record him climbing the slope and seeing the source of the mechanical rumbling from behind the rock, but cannot understand what Yu Ping’an truly saw."

"However, with Yu Ping’an’s modified prosthetics, normally, even if he couldn’t suppress his emotions, it wouldn’t affect the trembling of the prosthetics." Su Yu pondered while watching the footage of Yu Ping’an suppressing himself, "So, is it because of the impact from Yu Ping’an’s brain directly connecting to the Intelligent Chip?"

"Or did Yu Ping’an see..."

"He saw the enemies who destroyed his Wandering Village, who were also his father’s killers, which is why his emotions are so uncontrollable..."

"The Ghost Tribe, huh? What do they want the Source Core Crystal for?"

Although Su Yu couldn’t see from Yu Ping’an’s perspective, he deduced the general situation from the footage recorded by the cavalry and Yu Ping’an’s behavior.

At this time, on the hill, Yu Ping’an, after a moment’s pause, still chose to come down from the hill.

He returned to the front of the seven cavalry; with his prosthetics-covered face, his current emotions were indiscernible.

But Su Yu could tell from the slight tremor in Yu Ping’an’s hand prosthetics in the footage that Yu Ping’an was suppressing his inner anger and hatred.

After standing in place for a while, listening to the increasingly loud mechanical rumbling from the front, Yu Ping’an finally moved into action.

He directed the seven cavalry to slowly advance towards the hill, exerting great control over the sound they made.

Soon, under Yu Ping’an’s direction, the seven cavalry slowly reached the top of the hill.

And Su Yu finally, through the footage recorded by the cavalry, saw the source of the mechanical rumbling sound.
