Chapter 552: shocked at the center of the desert

Another thing is they like to prey on those strange oasis monsters from before.

They would eat them and go into the sand and hide for a long time.

Vicky doesn't want to take his women to this risky area.

So he left them in a relatively safe place.

Well they don't want him to go alone.

But they could not stop the choice of a man that wanted to improve himself to protect his women.

So he convinced them to stay there and wait for him.

He left them under the cliff of the big mountain like structure after making a hole inside for them to stay.

Then he started to move swiftly with light footsteps.

He did not attract the attentions of the big monster earth worms.

He was careful enough to avoid the places where they might emerge based on the sand trail and sensing sand movements.

Also he changed his gun to the different model where it can shoot the nuclear bomb bullets.

He has loaded them into the gun carefully and stored it in his personal space so that they would not be moved much.

He checked the map from time to time and moved towards the center that looked quite black from a distance.

He did not understand what the yellow and biscuit colored sand suddenly turned black at that place.

Also he found that those big earth worm monsters would not go near the central region where the map pointed at the treasure chest.

He doesn't know what that is either.

But soon he understood the reason.

Only after getting close to that region did he found something that made him want to run back.

At that place there are densely packed scarabs that are actually dragging the huge earth worm monster to eat.

No matter how the earth worm monster struggled he could not escape their grasp.

There are so many worms that Vicky don't know if he can move forward like this.

But fortunately he has a drone to act.

These scarabs would not eat other materials.

They are only interested in flesh of living or dead corpses.

So he can use the drone to get what he wanted.

But the location is very deep that it would be out of the range of his control.

So he can only set it in auto mode to let it go and extract the treasure chest for him.

He can program the drone to recognize the treasure chest and extract it.

But he would lose the protection because he only has one gun.

If things did not work then he can only shoot the nuclear bomb bullets using a sling shot that he has as spare.

With his shooting skill he can possibly use it to attack but the speed is not fast.

This is because he has to load one at a time and he has to pull the thing with his own force to shoot.

With gun he can directly attack after being loaded.

He did not have enough time to make all kinds of choices right now.

He came all the way here and he could not just leave things be.

So he took the drone, the slingshot, the gun and the tablet.

He disassembled the thing to load the slingshot first.

Then he connected the gun to the drone to shoot the suction cup and retract the rope back.

Finally he started to write the program in the tablet to autonomously retract the treasure chest.

He did not have to work to write a program.

The Artificial intelligence can do this work quickly.

He just has to give it instructions and safety measures.

The original database can be understood by the system through its memories and original feed that Vicky gave to them before.

With that the information was passed on to the drone to activate on its own and flew off from his location.

He quickly put the tablet into his front pocket.

This tablet is the beacon for the drone to return.

That is the positioning.

So he could not put it back in the personal space.

Then he quickly got up and moved back slowly from his current position.

He could not stand in the same spot for a long time.

If he did then the sand would sink under his feet causing lot of vibrations.

Sand worms did not have eyes.

They would sense his movements through the skin that is through vibrations from his movements.

So standing in a place is no different than giving them his stable location.

Even moving might alert them but they would think that it was another sand worm like creature and would not attack him when moving.

So he has to move.

He started to move around in that area while looking cautiously for the quick sands and other things that he might encounter.

Tian Meng is working hard to keep an eye on the surrounding sand for any danger that might emerge.

It is not that easy for them.

The distance that the drone has to fly is around 4 kilometers.

This is the radius of a huge circular area that was covered with scarabs all over the place based on the map.

Based on the estimated location, verification, extraction and returning, it would take the drone around 12 minutes minimum.

It takes a maximum of 20 minutes.

It travels really fast because of the upgrades that Vicky made to it during his free time.

For the next 20 minutes he can only jump around the area to avoid any danger.

But he was not sure because anything can happen in 20 minutes of time.

.....

Also he has to keep an eye in the sky to make sure that there is no vulture like creatures that can come.

Well even if they come he could not do anything to it.

But he can run away from here because the big creature most probably would destroy his drone.
