Pear Blossom Mountain, southern slope.
The field agents searching for Yao Yu had already reached halfway up the mountain, where there were several abandoned orchards and many buildings—the villagers responsible for tending the pear trees spent most of the year living on the mountain. Besides that, warehouses for storing freshly picked pears were also built here.
Compared to the foot of the mountain, the terrain here suddenly became much more complex, significantly increasing the difficulty of the search.
"Prepare to release the all-terrain drone swarm," said the team leader over the communication channel.
Several field agents with half-human-height boxes on their backs stopped, squatted down, and opened the boxes with the help of their teammates.
Even from a few hundred meters away, Sun Hang could see clearly—a hundred mechanical spiders crawled out of the boxes, dispersing in all directions, immediately crawling into buildings that might become hiding places.
